Besides the four nations that have signed letters of intent to support HYDIS2, industry partners hail from Finland, Estonia, Sweden, Denmark, Romania, Hungary, Croatia, Austria, Spain and Belgium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHYDIS2 aims to define Europe\u2019s interceptor,\u201d Verzotti said during the briefing. After the three-year concept study is over, the plan is for the four nations underwriting HYDIS2 to choose one counter-hypersonic interceptor concept to push forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company has been at work on counter-hypersonic technology for roughly the past four years, he said. Internally to MBDA, the capability under development has been dubbed \u201cAquila,\u201d the Latin word for \u201ceagle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The intent is for Aquila\u2019s development to be linked to the EU-funded Timely Warning and Interception with Space-based TheatER Surveillance (TWISTER) program, supported by the EU\u2019s Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nearly one year ago, the EU announced its initial roster of 61 programs to be supported by the European Defence Fund (EDF). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/europe\/2022\/09\/05\/spanish-german-companies-start-work-on-hypersonic-missile-interceptor\/\"><u>One of those, the EU HYDEF effort, would cover the concept phase to build a similar endo-atmospheric interceptor, led by a consortium including Spain\u2019s Sener Aerospacial Sociedad Anonima and Germany\u2019s Diehl Defence<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The EU HYDEF program is expected to cost about \u20ac110 million ($100.74 million) and cover a 36-month period, the EU previously shared. It is also linked to the PESCO TWISTER program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MBDA also submitted a bid to receive EDF funds to build an interceptor in 2022 under the moniker HYDIS. While their proposal was not selected then, officials are optimistic that a second effort \u2013 with the very same industry team \u2013 might prove more effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rafael.co.il\/press\/rafael-unveils-sky-sonic-hypersonic-missile-interceptor\/\"><u>Israeli arms maker Rafael announced June 14 that it had developed its own hypersonic interceptor dubbed \u201cSky Sonic.\u201d<\/u><\/a><b> <\/b>The weapon was unveiled for the first time at this year\u2019s Paris Air Show and is on display at the
