Successful and on time! The #HYDEF Consortium reaches 2 further important milestones with the Early Maturation Kick-Off Meeting (EM KO) and the Progress Review Meeting (PRM2). The EM KO marks the beginning of the technology maturation activities. Among other things, #DiehlDefence as Technical Coordinator, worked together with the consortium on the validation of the planned activities, including critical technologies. The meeting also served to assess and advance the current technological maturity level of these technologies. The HYDEF program is moving forward - we are proud to be part of this consortium.
OCCAR HYDEF Programme EM KO and PRM 2 Milestones Achieved Tres Cantos/Spain, 29-30 October 2024 –The OCCAR (Organisation for Joint Armament Co-operation) #HYDEF Programme has met the third technical milestone (EM KO) and the third management milestone (PRM2). These achievements were made during meetings held over two days at the Sener facilities. The aim of the Early Maturation Kick-Off Meeting (EM KO) was to validate planned activities, aligning them with the initial proposal, while incorporating critical technologies identified in the pre-feasibility phase. The meeting comprised of all the Participating States (PSs), involved assessing the current Technological Readiness Level (TRL) of these technologies and identifying the resources required to advance their TRLs. The EM KO marks the start of the activities of technology maturation. The activities to be performed in Early Design and Technology Maturation, based on the critical technologies identified in the pre-feasibility phase, were demonstrated to be ready to start. The expected challenges in their developments were laid out, as identified in the Technology Plan. The feasibility phase is then in progress and technical maturation activities have started right after the Early Maturation Kick-off meeting. Following this meeting, the Programme will mainly consist of the definition of the concept for the system, leading to the Concept Selection Milestone (CSM) in August 2025, and the performance of maturation activities, reaching the Early Maturation Mid-Term Review Milestone (EM MTR) in October 2025. The Progress Review Meeting 2 (PRM 2) was held between the Project Coordinator (SMS), the Project Manager of each beneficiary and the OCCAR HYDEF Programme Division. The HYDEF Consortium presented to the OCCAR HYDEF Programme Division the general status of the Programme covering progress, KPIs, schedule review, risk assessment and mitigation, financial, quality control, ethics and other aspects. Both milestones were successfully met on schedule. “Co-funded by the European Union.
