European Consortium Validates Final Concept Review Milestone
The Hydis project, a European initiative to develop a hypersonic interceptor, has settled on a concept based on a solid-propellant rocket motor. The program’s steering committee validated the final concept review milestone, with the remaining year focusing on advancing critical technologies. The European Defence Fund plans to allocate €100 million for an endo-atmospheric interceptor, with the Hydis project competing with the Hydef program. This development was first reported by Defense News.
