Zitat:ADEX 2023: Hyundai Rotem unveils new amphibious AFV

Hyundai Rotem has unveiled a prototype of its next-generation N-WAV (wheeled armoured vehicle) for the first time at the Seoul International Aerospace & Defense Exhibition (ADEX) 2023.

The new 30 ton-class armoured fighting vehicle (AFV) is capable of being launched from amphibious assault vessels and has improvements from the previous K808 White Tiger 8×8 AFV following recommendations from the Republic of Korea Army (RoKA), a company representative told Janes on 19 October.

The N-WAV is currently a technical prototype, the company representative added. [...] Major improvements comprise a new turret with a 30 mm cannon, a new 700 hp diesel engine, and enhanced amphibious assault capability, according to the representative. In an official company specifications sheet of the N-WAV, the AFV's 700 hp engine is coupled to a fully automatic transmission with seven forward gears and one reverse gear.
