Hanwha plans to unveil next‑generation integrated unmanned systems at the Black Sea Defense & Aerospace (BSDA) 2026 exhibition in Bucharest. Hanwha Aerospace and Hanwha Systems have prepared a 437㎡ (about 4,704 sq ft) integrated booth to showcase their portfolio, with an emphasis on future technologies and local production capabilities to address regional security requirements.
The companies announced on May 12 that they will participate in BSDA 2026, scheduled for May 13–15 in Bucharest.
A Hanwha official said, \”As Europe re-arms and the security environment shifts, we will actively respond to regional security needs based on advanced technologies and local production systems.\”
The event—considered the largest defense exhibition in the Balkans—will feature roughly 550 companies from 36 countries and is expected to draw more than 30,000 visitors. Hanwha has established a 437㎡ integrated booth for the show.
Against the backdrop of rapidly changing security dynamics in Europe, many European militaries are accelerating adoption of unmanned combat systems. Romania is pursuing a program to acquire advanced unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs).
At BSDA, Hanwha Aerospace will present its UGV lineup, including the multipurpose Arion‑SMET, GRUNT and the THeMIS‑K platforms.
On the day before the exhibition opened, Hanwha Aerospace demonstrated manned‑unmanned teaming (MUM‑T) capabilities to Romanian military officials using GRUNT and THeMIS‑K.
The demonstration showcased combined missions — reconnaissance, resupply and other mixed tasks — and highlighted concepts for collaborative manned‑unmanned operations, drawing strong interest from local defense representatives.
The booth also featured a K9A1 self‑propelled howitzer and the Cheonmu multi‑launch guided rocket system, along with firepower solutions and air‑defense offerings such as the long‑range surface‑to‑air guided weapon (L‑SAM) and a short‑range air defense system (H‑SHORAD).
Hanwha Systems will demonstrate an AI‑based satellite imagery analysis solution capable of identifying aircraft, vehicles and trains, as well as estimating damage following disasters.
