The South Korean Defense Acquisition Program Administration has announced that they have completed a project to develop a domestically made Marine Attack Helicopter based on a marine variant of the KUH-1 Surion.

It completed its first flight in 2024 and has since undertaken a test and evaluation program including live fire tests of a 20 mm turret-mounted machine gun and 70 mm guided rockets.

Production of the first 20 aircraft is scheduled to begin in 2027.
