Paris, France 18 July, 2024 - Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) from the HYDIS contributing Nations and HYDIS consortium representatives met in Paris for the 2nd User Requirements Workshop to continue discussing the operational scenarios that the future European Hypersonic Missile Interceptor might face during its operational deployment.
The meeting provided another important opportunity to discuss and align national views on the key evaluation criteria which will determine the selection of the most promising interception concept developed by industry during the HYDIS Concept Phase.
This workshop was the second of a total of four dedicated technical meetings that will contribute to achieving the first milestone of the HYDIS programme: "Solution Space Review" (SSR).
Close cooperation between Industry and Nations will now more precisely focus on enabling capabilities of the interception architectural solution. This includes space-based early warning and tracking capabilities, ground sensors, platform integration, and other aspects such as sustainability and affordability.
