Doosan DST was chosen in 2009 as the developer of next-generation multiple launch rocket and ammunition transport vehicle systems for the South Korean army. The newly-developed Chun Mu has been presented for the first time in 2014. The system uses Hanwha's 130-mm, 227-mm and 230-mm rockets. A standard 130-mm rocket is 2.4 m long and weights 55 kg. It has a maximum range of 23 km. Extended-range rockets can reach 36 km.

Doosan DST's Chun Mu can launch various types of missiles (guided/unguided missiles) and is equipped with unrivaled mobility and protection capabilities. Chun Mu, along with Bi Ho Hybrid, was successfully developed through a company-led R&D scheme, the first in the South Korean defense industry.

Doosan DST's new multiple rocket and missile launcher system provides physical strike with high hit rate and suppression against ground attacks. Ammunition resupply vehicle, as a variant, carries and reloads rocket and missile pods for the launcher system.

Thanks to high mobile tactical wheeled platform, fire control system and joint fire networks, the launcher system can be quickly moved and deployed to provide maximum fire power in a short period of time.

The multiple launcher system allows firing of rocket, as well as missile systems. It is fitted with a servo system, and a self-loading system with two pods; allowing fast reaction time under the battlefield conditions.

The Fire Control System (FCS) is mainly composed of four different systems. The Fire Control Console (FCC), of which security is guaranteed by Variable Message Format (VMF) system. The Weapon Control Unit (WCU) ensure the missile/rocket function management and the missile/rocket ballistics computation. The Launcher Control Unit is equipped with hydraulic servo control and an isolated electrical power control. Finally, the Position Navigation Unit is composed of a GPS/INS and control position, altitude and angular rate of the system.

The ammunition resupply vehicle is remote-controlled. It is fitted with an automatic duty control, a manual speed control and an overload protection.

South Korea is reported to have ordered a total of 58 Chun Mu multiple launch rocket systems.
