At the WDS 2026 exhibition in Riyadh, the South Korean company Hanwha Aerospace presented a special configuration of the Tigon 8x8 armored vehicle capable of detecting enemy fire.
The developer, positioning himself as a "system integrator", demonstrated the active use of foreign products on his equipment. The new Tigon modification has been equipped with the SEDA 100 shot detection system from the Turkish company ASELSAN.
The SEDA 100 uses advanced acoustic sensors to detect, with a probability of more than 95%, the sound of a shot and a shock wave from a supersonic projectile during its flight. At the same time, it is able to detect fire from infantry weapons of various calibers.

The complex, providing an all-round view, determines the direction, azimuth (with an error of less than 5°) and distance (+/- 20%) to the fire source within less than 1.5 seconds. The system is designed to quickly integrate with various platforms, including combat modules, and can automatically aim weapons at a detected target for return fire.

Hanwha Aerospace offers the Tigon family in three main versions – 4x4, 6x6 and 8x8. The most protected variant, the Tigon 8x8, is capable of withstanding a 30 mm BOPS hit and an 8 kg explosive blast. It weighs from 32 to 34 tons, depending on the configuration. Equipped with a 700 hp engine, it can reach speeds of up to 100 km/h and has a range of 800 km.
The vehicle is designed for 11 people (including crew and troops) and can carry a wide range of weapons systems, including 30-mm automatic cannons, 105-mm guns and ATGM.
