Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute (KERI) and Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) signed an agreement to jointly develop an electric propulsion system for Korea’s navy vessels including KDDX-class destroyers.
KERI said its LBTS (Land Based Test Site), a test facility that can validate on-board systems on land, will play a significant role in the cooperation. Two parties’ cooperation will cover ▲KDDX basic design ▲Electric propulsion and power system for next-gen naval ships ▲ESS for naval ships ▲DC distribution system for warships.
