'''KDX-IIA''' is an [Aegis Combat System](/source/Aegis_Combat_System) armed variant of the KDX-II, {{sclass|Chungmugong Yi Sun-sin|destroyer}} of the [Republic of Korea Navy](/source/Republic_of_Korea_Navy) (ROKN). As of 2011 ROKN planned to build at least 6 ships of this class with a proposed displacement of 5500 ~ 7500 tons over the 2019 to 2026 time frame. It is the final part of the [Korean Destroyer eXperimental](/source/Korean_Destroyer_eXperimental) program. Although the [South Korea](/source/South_Korea)n government has not released detailed documents about this class, it is likely to use [stealth technology](/source/stealth_technology) like KDX-II as well as having a more integrated [sonar](/source/sonar) and better data link capabilities. All of these improvements are expected to enhance [littoral combat](/source/Littoral_combat_ship) as well as [blue-water](/source/Blue-water_navy) capabilities.{{Citation needed|date=October 2025}}

The ROKN expects it to make up a major part of the fleet. Each unit will cost around $500~$700 million.{{Citation needed|date=October 2025}}

This project has been revised into the [Korean Next-Generation Destroyer](/source/KDDX-class_destroyer) (KDDX) program.{{Citation needed|date=October 2025}}
