|---|---|

| Payload | 450 kg |

| Price notes | Contract value not disclosed. Hanwha signed the initial mass-production contract with DAPA on 2026-09-04 (selection 2026-07-16); the published figure is the phase-1 programme budget of KRW 49.6 billion (~USD 33.5M; KRW 49.63 billion in some reports), not the contract price. Quantity is reported only as 'about 40' vehicles (Hankook Ilbo 2026-09-18) for Army and Marine Corps infantry units from 2027. Budget divided by ~40 gives a rough ~KRW 1.2 billion per vehicle including RCWS and support — an unofficial average, so price_or_unit_cost is left null. Long-term procurement projected at about KRW 500 billion. |
