Originally Published 2 years ago — by Defense News

MBDA is leading a consortium of 19 companies and 30 suppliers from 14 European countries to conceptualize a prototype hypersonic interceptor for Europe over the next three years. The consortium includes France, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands, and the plan is for the four nations underwriting HYDIS2 to choose one counter-hypersonic interceptor concept to push forward. The company has been at work on counter-hypersonic technology for roughly the past four years, and the development of Aquila is linked to the EU-funded TWISTER program.
