Überlingen, 24-25 April, 2024 – During a two-day
session at the DIEHL facilities, the HYDEF Programme has met the first
technical milestone (MCM) and the second management milestone (PRM1).
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.
The Mission Concept Milestone (MCM) is part of the
Pre-Feasibility Phase and the technical objective is to agree on the mission
statement and the Concept of Operations (CONOPS). During the MCM, the consortium
has consolidated the requirements collection, initial concept ideas, and system
options while providing a rough performance estimation to the users. The first
version of the CONOPS has been approved. The activities associated to
pre-feasibility are the type of study. The concept study is fundamental in the
initial information of threats, mission, and user requirements with a concept
of operations.
The MCM had two associated Core Stakeholders
Workshops, for early collection and allocation of inputs and requirements to
the different areas of activities involved in the project.
The Progress Review Meeting 1 (PRM 1) was held between
the Project Coordinator (SMS) and HYDEF Programme Division. The HYDEF
Consortium presented to HYDEF PD the general status of the programme covering
progress, KPIs, schedule review, risks, financial and other aspects.
Both milestones were successfully overcome six and
five days in advance of the deadline, respectively.
