Manufacture begins on anti-air missile prototypes for future South Korean warships

The missiles can be housed in vertical launch system cells. Among the ships to be fitted with the weapons are the FFX Batch IV or Chungnam-class frigates, which are scheduled to enter service with the ROKN in 2027 and 2028, and the KDDX destroyers, which will follow beginning in 2032.

LIG D&A is the prime contractor for the KSAM-II programme. Development of the missiles is projected to last into the 2030s.
