Does anyone have any information on the hypervelocity SAMs that Germany is working on? I heard that BGT and LFK are working on projects for future SAMs that can reach speeds of Mach 6 or 7.
The programme you are referring to was LFK’s Hyperschallflugkörper (HFK) project that ran from 2000 to 2003. It was actually a joint German-Swedish effort, but it ended in late 03 when the German side pulled all funding. Two ground-launched test shots were undertaken, reaching a maximum of M7.
