HYDEF Core Stakeholders meet in Germany again The “European Hypersonic Defence Interceptor” (EU HYDEF) is a project co-funded by the European Union, under the European Defence Fund, and Belgium, Germany, Norway, Poland, and Spain. OCCAR has been entrusted the management of the EU HYDEF project by the European Commission (EC) and the Participating States. Between June 12 and 13, 2024, the Third HYDEF (HYpersonic DEFence) Stakeholder Workshop took place at Diehl Defence facilities in Überlingen, Germany. Participants from HYDEF Consortium companies and HYDEF Participating States, along with OCCAR (Organisation for Joint Armament Cooperation), met to exchange more detailed information in order to refine the ConOps (Concept of Operation). The event was organised by Diehl Defence and Sistemas de Misiles de España (SMS), chaired by OCCAR HYDEF PD. The contribution of technical experts from the participating nations to the ConOps is critical to set a solid base for further development of the Hypersonic Defence Interceptor and the System-of-Systems behind it. In the meeting, the consortium used innovative methodologies and tools to present the technical information, raising awareness on the expected performance of the system and maximizing feedback from the nations. OCCAR HYDEF PD remarked the high quality and quantity of information provided by the stakeholders. In view of the success and fruitfulness of these gatherings, it was agreed to organize additional workshops to address specific topics. This Third HYDEF Core Stakeholder Workshop marks a further step in European cooperation in the development of an interceptor as part of an integrated air and missile defence system architecture. This complex System-of-System will be capable of neutralising emerging and highly sophisticated hypersonic threats in the coming decades. The next major HYDEF event is the Mission Definition Review technical milestone, to be held next August, which will mark the end of the pre-feasibility phase. Afterwards, an extended stakeholder event with representatives from the ministries of defence of several EU member states will present the common European Hypersonic Defence concept to other interested nations. Defending Hypersonic threats is not only a challenge for a few nations, it is a challenge for whole united Europe. HYDEF is financed by the European Defence Fund (EDF) and five Participating States (BE, DE, ES, NO, PL), and managed by OCCAR in Madrid. The HYDEF consortium is led by SMS, which is responsible for project management, and Diehl Defence, which is responsible for the technical part.

HYDEF reaches first technical milestone. The European Hypersonic Defence Interceptor” (EU HYDEF) is a project co-funded by the European Union, under the European Defence Fund, and Belgium, Germany, Norway, Poland and Spain. OCCAR has been entrusted the management of the EU HYDEF project by the European Commission (EC) and the Participating States. Between April 24 and 25, 2024, the HYDEF (HYpersonic DEFence) programme reached an important technical milestone. The HYDEF Mission Concept Milestone (MCM) and the first Progress Review Meeting (PRM1) took place at Diehl Defence in Überlingen, Germany. Participants from HYDEF Consortium companies from five EU countries represented the HYDEF consortium with OCCAR (Organization for Joint Armament Cooperation) as reviewers of the milestone documents. The event was organised by Diehl Defence and Sistemas de Misiles de España (SMS), chaired by OCCAR. The MCM is the first technical milestone of the HYDEF program and demonstrates the high technical performance of the consortium. During the meeting, the consortium presented OCCAR its achievements of the last months. The OCCAR confirmed all results and the MCM and PRM1 were passed, and all technical objectives were very successfully achieved. This milestone marks a further step in European cooperation in the development of an interceptor as part of an integrated air and missile defence system architecture capable of neutralising emerging and highly sophisticated hypersonic threats in the coming decades. The consortium, in particular SMS and Diehl Defence, were commended by OCCAR for its professional work and performance. The next major HYDEF event is a third stakeholder workshop which will take place in Überlingen with representatives from the ministries of defence of several EU member states in mid-2024. HYDEF is financed by the European Defense Fund (EDF) and the EU Member States and managed by OCCAR. The HYDEF consortium is led by SMS, which is responsible for project management, and Diehl Defence, which is responsible for the technical part. The HYDEF programme is an unique opportunity for Europe to develop a state-of-the-art hypersonic defence capability to secure European airspace and neutralize hypersonic threats.
