The program will run for 36 months and is expected to cost nearly \u20ac110 million ($110.2 million). The EU will contribute a maximum of almost \u20ac100 million to the effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spain\u2019s Sener Aerospacial Sociedad Anonima is coordinating the EU HYDEF program, while Germany\u2019s Diehl Defence is serving as the overall technical lead, company officials said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The goal is to build a \u201cEuropean interceptor targeting the 2035+ threats, along with weapon and sensor systems,\u201d per the EU fact sheet. Sener, Diehl, and their partners will work to develop and demonstrate the HYDEF interceptor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At this point, the EU HYDEF program remains in a negotiation phase with the European Commission and participating member states, said Fernando Quintana, Sener\u2019s weapon systems director. Those negotiations will eventually lead to a grant agreement to transfer the pre-allocated funds to the industry team, he told Defense News. The program management body remains to be determined, he added \u2013 either the European Commission itself would oversee the effort, or else the intergovernmental Organization for Joint Armament Cooperation (OCCAR).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project is related to the an effort dubbed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pesco.europa.eu\/project\/timely-warning-and-interception-with-space-based-theater-surveillance-twister\/\"><u>Timely Warning and Interception with Space-based TheatER surveillance, or TWISTER<\/u><\/a><u>,<\/u> running under the banner of the PESCO program, short for Permanent Structured Cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The end goal of the interceptor program is to field a countermeasure that could eventually be integrated into an air defense system of systems capable of early warning, tracking, and interception of high-performance airborne threats, including ballistic missile defense (BMD) and hypersonic vehicles. \u201cThis system of systems is precisely what several European countries, including Spain, under the leadership of France, are developing in TWISTER,\u201d Quintana noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A European Commission official declined to comment on specific EDF projects, citing ongoing grant agreement negotiations, but stated that while the commission does not itself link EDF proposals to existing PESCO projects, EDF applicants can choose to refer to a specific PESCO effort in their research or development process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to overall coordination, Sener will lead elements of the work related to guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) systems, along with communications, and actuators and aerodynamic control, Quintana said. Its work on EU HYDEF will be informed by its involvement in the European Space Agency\u2019s (ESA) forthcoming controlled space re-entry vehicle,<i> <\/i>the Intermediate eXperimental Vehicle (IXV), and the agency\u2019s future \u201cSpace Rider\u201d uncrewed orbital spaceplane. Both of those vehicles will reach hypersonic speeds during re-entry, Quintana noted. Sener also provides the actuation and control subsystems for MBDA\u2019s METEOR air-to-air missile and Diehl\u2019s IRIS-T interceptor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sener and Diehl have long had a \u201cclose industrial relationship,\u201d working on both the air-to-air and surface-launched medium range (SLM) IRIS-T variants, Quintana said. \u201cThe success of this air defense missile, and the experience gained by the companies in its development, was the basis for both Sener and Diehl to consider the opportunity to jointly develop a much higher performance missile, such as the one proposed in EU HYDEF,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, Diehl is responsible for coordinating the \u201csystem of systems\u201d component, as well as the interceptor systems\u2019 engineering and design, Sinikka Salchow, company lead for the EU HYDEF program, told Defense News. Diehl is also responsible for upstage design and system simulation, as well as upstage guidance, navigation and control, Salchow said in an email. The missile components seeker and signal electronics will likewise fall under the German company\u2019s purview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company will apply its experience from the IRIS-T SLM interceptor as well as from Raytheon\u2019s Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM) Block 2B program to the EU HYDEF project, particularly related to multimode and multispectral seeker technology. Diehl Defence has more than 18 years of experience in the R&amp;D field on hypersonic technologies, as well as on ballistic missile defense projects, Salchow noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eleven additional partners are part of the EU HYDEF consortium. They include: Spain\u2019s Navantia; Escribano Mechanical and Engineering, GMV Aerospace and Defence, Instalaza S.A., and the Ministry of Defence\u2019s Instituto Nacional de T\u00e9cnica Aeroespacial Esteban Terradas; Poland\u2019s Instytut Techniczny Wojsk Lotniczych and Warsaw Institute of Aviation; Czech Republic\u2019s L.K. Engineering; Norway\u2019s Nammo; Sweden\u2019s Ruag Space; and Belgium\u2019s Sonaca Group.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The European Union&#8217;s burgeoning defense
