KAI MCH and MAH helicopters at MADEX 2025

Описание: Update on the Mine Countermeasures Helicopter (MCH) and the Marine Assault Helicopter (MAH) with Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) during MADEX 2025.

=====================

The ROK Navy issued in 2019 a requirement for the acquisition of 10 helicopter-based mine countermeasure systems. KAI with the Surion MCH, Lockheed Martin MH-60 and AgustaWestland AW101 were competing and KAI came out as the winner. KAI’s Surion MCH will deploy three major systems: the Northrop Grumman Airborne Laser Mine Detection System (ALMDS), an Airborne Mine Neutralization System (AMNS) and an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV). All three systems are operated from an integrated mission console.

The MAH armed Marineon is based on the Marineon transport utility helicopter, which itself is based on the KAI Surion. It will carry a total of eight Hanwha Techwin “Cheon-geom” anti-tank missiles and 38 unguided 2.75 inch rockets on side pylons, along with an M197 electric cannon below the cockpit. It will also be armed with four air-to-air variants of the LIG Nex1 Chiron missiles. KAI is also developing the manned unmanned teaming (MUM-T) system for use on the armed Marineon. The MUM-T is an unmanned platform which can be mounted on the armed Marineon’s side pylons and is designed for a diverse range of roles including attack and reconnaissance.
