The Hydis project to develop a European interceptor against hypersonic threats 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 only one of the proposals to be funded. The Hydis project is one of two European projects to develop a counter against hypersonic threats, competing with the Hydef program.
