K30W Chunho Anti-Aircraft Gun Wheeled Vehicle System (AAGW) 

South Korea completed development of K30W Chunho (Sky Tiger) Wheeled Anti-Aircraft Gun
Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) announced today that development of wheeled anti-aircraft gun has been successfully completed. The project involved Hanwha Defense and 200 other small firms.
Dubbed the Anti-Aircraft Gun Wheeled Vehicle System (AAGW) by its manufacturer, this system began development in June, 2015 with budget of 55 billion won (approximately $46.6 million) as replacement for aging Vulcan Air Defense System (VADS).
AAGW consists of modified Hanwha Defense K30 Biho turret and Hyundai Rotem K808 chassis. Search radar from the original K30 Biho has been removed. Instead, it maintains wired and wireless datalink with TPS-880K Local Air Defense Radar (LADR) and Air Defense Command & Control Alert (ADC2A) Network. The use of existing proven technology and platform significantly reduced development time and cost as well.

AAGW is equipped with an Electro Optical Targeting System (EOTS), which has 7 km detection range and 3 km engagement range (1.6x greater than that of VADS), and back up manual targeting sight. The original Biho's license-produced Raytheon EOTS was replaced in favor of the new Hanwha Systems EOTS, which has a built-in IRST feature and 1/3 the size of the preceding model.
More importantly, the number of required personnel for air-defense operation was reduced from 48 to 18 per company and the system boats 95% localization rate. This is crucial as the Republic of Korea Army will have much fewer personnel in the near future. Also, being a mobile platform ensures greater survivability and mobility over existing towed AA guns. Lastly, the AAGW is much cheaper than the tracked K30 Biho, and the Army currently plans to acquire approximately 270 systems.
The AAGW will further enhance the Republic of Korea Army's low-altitude-air-defense capability against low-flying aircraft and drones.
