I don't beleive this is associated with any actual production
program; it's just a tech demonstrator. (Which could be bad
given the massive cuts pending in German R&D efforts)

Apparently it will be developed into a system.

That's not what the article says. It says Germany and Sweden hope to apply
the technology developed in a joint R&D program to future weapons.

Those weapons will likely not be HFK 2 but will sue technology demonstrated
in the HFK project. This relationship sounds like the one between X-planes
(pre-Joint Strike Fighter) and operational aircraft.
