关于韩国CIWS发展计划的更多细节浮出水面
韩国官员
朝鲜透露了有关该国计划开发用于大韩民国海军（RoKN）军舰的近距离武器系统（CIWS）的更多细节。
官员们于6月5日对简斯讲话
说，“近距离武器系统（CIWS）-II”将要开发
2021年到2030年之间的收入为3500亿韩元（2.89亿美元），
将配备一门30毫米加特林（Gatling）型枪和一个新的有源电子扫描阵列（AESA）雷达。
尽管雷达将在本地设计和制造，但这种武器不太可能是本地开发的，而是与已经与RoKN一起使用的守门员CIWS使用的GAU-8 / A Avenger七管自动加农炮相同。
官员们表示，这样做的原因是，开发和测试全新的枪支系统将需要更长的时间。
Poongsan, South Korea’s largest ammunition manufacturer,
already produces K164/K165 missile-piercing discarding-sabot rounds that can be used by the GAU-8/A Avenger,
which South Korea is planning to produce domestically through a technology transfer from US manufacturer General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems.
The CIWS-II
is expected to be fitted onto several RoKN vessels, including the RoKN’s future FFX-III-class frigates, KDDX-class destroyers, and LPX-II-class large-deck amphibious assault ships.
Industry officials told Janes that South Korean companies LIG Nex1 and Hanwha Systems have shown an interest in taking part in the competition to develop the new system.
