Literally.

"Hanwha Techwin officials have confirmed that the company's 105 mm self-propelled howitzer is ready for mass production"

No word if this will be offered as a solution with their cameras.

I noticed they are just relabeling this anyway:

"It [the EVO-105] consists of a standard KIA KM500 (6x6) 5-tonne truck chassis with the rear cargo area modified to accept the upper part of the 105 mm M101 towed gun from the United States"

I believe that the 105mm howitzer is actually part of their Wisenet Lite line.

Their big gun is the K9, a 150mm howitzer, already in production, shown here:

They do have cameras available on their robotics platforms, which also have armament.

A wall mounted camera gun was actually pictured in the US catalog a few years ago. It offered 7.62mm and bean bag rounds.

At various trade shows, they have also shown their robotic vehicles, which I believe can also include cameras, autonomous security routes...

First Milestone/ONSSI goto War, then Hikvision warns of Massive Bloodletting, and now Techwin is building its own Panzer division!

What hath become of this industry, I ask?

They started making self propelled artillery in 1984, jet tubines in 1980. They built the first KF-16 (Korean F-16 jet) in 1997. They also worked with Bell to design the SB427 as a joint venture.

I guess what I'm trying to say, is, don't bring a cannon to a F16 fight...
