Next-generation hydrogen-powered tanks
“Next-generation main battle tank surpasses all capabilities of today’s MBTs, providing more efficient mission employment with the latest technologies for future warfare. As battlefield conditions change, more changes are required to MBT’s firepower, command and control, and survivability to be more optimized and to create maximum combat synergy,” Hyundai Rotem explains on its website.
“Hyundai Rotem will proactively prepare for future warfare by developing next-generation main battle tanks capable of supplementing combatant’s capabilities and function replacements. Peacekeeping is our prioritized goal,” the company added.
The new K3 will feature improved stealth capabilities, autonomous driving and slave drones, and a new 130-mm smoothbore main gun. “The next-generation tank will have stronger preemptive strike capabilities using an artificial intelligence-based fire control system,” an official at Hyundai Rotem said.
