Professional submarine KSS-III

To detect faraway enemies faster underwater, a submarine must have a high-performance SONAR system, which is equivalent to ears for humans. The performance of the SONAR system is crucial as it is directly linked with the submarine’s combat and survival capabilities. KSS-III Batch-II is equipped with a total of O types of Korean-specified SONAR systems, including the horseshoe SONAR on the bow, enabling target detection with minimal shadow zones in all frequency bands. KSS-III Dosan Ahn Changho-class submarine is equipped with a state-of-the-art weapon handling and launch system. This allows the submarine to load up to OO torpedoes, missiles, and sea mines simultaneously. Furthermore, the system also enables rapid and simultaneous launch, as well as rapid reload after launch, making the submarine capable of flexible response in any battlefield situation. KSS-III Dosan Ahn Changho-class submarine is the only diesel submarine in existence that has a vertical launching system. Equipped with a total of OO VLSs, it can operate SLBMs (submarine-launched ballistic missiles) with heavy warheads, which is the main reason why KSS-III submarine came to settle its position as the key strategic asset to curb North Korea’s nuclear provocations as a means of KMPR (Korea Massive Punishment and Retaliation), the core of South Korea’s three-axis system. The lithium battery system, which has superior energy density compared to the lead-acid battery system, has significantly increased the number of days KSS-III Batch-II submarine can navigate underwater continuously without cessation.
