기타 HD 현대중공업, 대형시험함 건조 수주

[위종민]

현대중공업이 7월 29일 대형시험함 상세설계 및 건조사업을 수주했네요. 한화오션이 기본설계를 했는데, 건조는 입찰을 거쳐 HD가 가져갔네요. 현대중공업은 기술평가 점수 75.84, 가격점수 20점으로 95.84점, 한화오션은 기술평가 점수 74.46, 가격점수 19.9511점으로 94.6311점이었다고 합니다. 

경하배수량 6,150톤, 속력은 27.78km/h ( = 14.6노트) 이상이 조건이라고 합니다. 레이돔에는 미사일 추적용 X-밴드 레이더가 장착돼 있겠죠? 국과연이 발주하는 걸 보니 해군이 아니라 국과연에서 직접 운영할 배인가 봅니다. 

KVLS-I 8셀, KVLS-II 4셀이 실려있고,  함정의 위치를 조정하기 위한 동적 위치제어 기능이 탑재돼 있으며 3,900mm*5,100mm 크기의 차세대 K-VLS를 탑재할 공간도 포함돼 있다고 합니다.

(서울=연합뉴스) 김보경 기자 = HD현대중공업[329180]은 국방과학연구소(ADD)가 조달청을 통해 공고한 일반물자인 '대형 해상시험선 상세설계 및 건조사업' 입찰 결과 1순위에 선정됐다고 29일 밝혔다.
...
이 선박은 경하배수량(물품을 싣지 않은 상태) 6천150t급 이상으로, 항속거리 1만해리 이상, 항해속력은 27.78㎞/h 이상의 조건을 만족해야 한다. 또 연구원 60명을 포함한 86명이 승선할 수 있어야 한다.
...
ADD의 이번 발주는 우주 무기체계 개발을 위해 해상시험에 투입되는 시험선을 확보하기 위한 것으로, 기본설계는 한화오션[042660]이 맡았다.
이후 이 사업은 HD현대중공업과 한화오션의 경쟁입찰로 진행됐다.
방산물자는 기본설계를 수행한 업체가 그 결과에 대해 잠정 전투용 적합 판정을 받으면 특별한 사유가 없는 한 상세설계 및 선도함 건조까지 수행하지만, 대형시험선과 같은 일반물자는 그러한 특례조항이 없이 경쟁입찰로 사업자를 선정한다.

South Korea’s HD HHI to build Large Test VesselHD Hyundai Heavy Industries is to conduct detailed design and construction of ADD’s new large test vessel (experimental ship).

Eunhyuk Cha  09 Aug 2024

On July 30th, the competitive bidding for the detailed design and construction of the Republic of Korea’s Agency for Defense Development (ADD)’s new 6,150-ton large test vessel was won by HD Hyundai Heavy Industries. In the selection process, conducted through competitive bidding, HD Hyundai Heavy Industries and Hanwha Ocean participated. HD Hyundai Heavy Industries scored a total of 95.84 points, with 75.84 points in the technical eval‎uation and 20 points in the price eval‎uation. Hanwha Ocean scored 74.68 points in the technical eval‎uation and 19.9511 points in the price eval‎uation, achieving a total of 94.6311 points.

Previously, when it came to the acquisition of defense materials or assets, the company that conducted the basic design was typically given the contract to conduct the detailed design and construction of the lead ship unless there was a compelling reason not to. However, the large test vessel was considered a general material, so the bidding was held on the Public Procurement Service’s Korea ON-line e-Procurement System (KONEPS) and was awarded through competitive bidding.

HD Hyundai Heavy Industries’ official stated regarding the bidding results:

We aim to meet the improved performance requirements demanded by the Agency for Defense Development (ADD) from the detailed design to the construction of the large test vessel, with a goal of early delivery. As the only company in South Korea with research, development and design capabilities for Aegis ships, we are fully prepared to continue the KDDX research and development project as an ongoing initiative and to complete the timely delivery of the lead ship.

ADD’s large test vessel

The large test vessel announced by the Agency for Defense Development (ADD) is a multi-purpose special vessel designed to serve as a platform for testing next-generation missiles, as well as for conducting capability measurements and development tests for high-altitude interceptors and flight vehicles. It is essential for the vessel to be equipped with advanced testing and measurement equipment and to possess long-range, extended-duration navigation capabilities.

The main specifications of the new large test vessel include:

• Displacement: 6,150 tonnes (light load), 8,250 tonnes (deep load), and a total of over 10,000 tonnes including the radar dome placed on top of the vessel.
• Range: 10,000 nautical miles.
• Speed: Over 27.78 km/h.
• Capacity: Accommodation for 86 passengers, including 60 researchers and 26 crews.

This large test ship will feature two sections of KVLS-I (8-cell) and KVLS-II (4-cell) for testing guided weapons, test and training measurement equipment, Dynamic Positioning (DP) for maintaining the ship’s position during guided missile launches at sea, and facilities for operating vehicles equipped with guided missile launchers. Additionally, the specifications require an extended size of the VLS section to accommodate the next generation of Korean VLS, which is shown to have a size of 3900mm x 5100mm.

It is anticipated that with the recent opening of the Samcheok East Coast Test Range and the acquisition of the large test vessel, the ROK Navy will be able to conduct further analysis of its latest guided weapon systems, such as the SAAM-400K (K-SAAM), which had its first live-fire exercise, and the future long-range surface-to-air missile (Ship-to-Air Missile-II) under development by LIG Nex1.
