om "Thomas Schoene" wrote in message news:X11lb.5227 OK, that's pretty much what I said at the outset -- it's a technology demosntrator that will produce concepts that may show up in future programs. That's not the same as the original post, which said HKF 2 could be operational by 2010. -- Tom Schoene Replace "invalid" with "net" to e-mail "If brave men and women never died, there would be nothing special about bravery." -- Andy Rooney (attributed) Check out this quote from: http://www.afcea.org/signal/europe20...ny/Germany.htm Dr. Michael Langer, head of the BGT liaison office in Koblenz, reports that the company also is developing the HFK hypervelocity missile to replace the Roland surface-to-air missile system. OK, this is something I had not sseen anywhere before. I'm quite surprised, as this seems like an area where there is very little urgent need for improvement and other reports realyl seemed to nidicate that it's a longr-rnage project. But if BGT says that's what they're doing, I can't deny it. -- Tom Schoene Replace "invalid" with "net" to e-mail "If brave men and women never died, there would be nothing special about bravery." -- Andy Rooney (attributed) |

But if BGT says that's what they're doing, I can't deny it. The only thing which I would hesitate a bit on is that by the link, it looks like this report was written in 2000. Seeing how quickly things change, the program may have taken a different turn from what was described by BGT. But if it does remain as described...it will be one kick ass missile! -----JT----- |
