Hypersonica has demonstrated a high-speed missile prototype surpassing Mach 6, marking a milestone for privately funded hypersonic innovation in Europe. The system incorporates modular components and advanced simulation-based development to enable rapid iteration and lower risk during testing. Backed by fresh investment, the next phase will scale the missile to full size for further validation, focusing on sustained hypersonic flight, maneuverability, and advanced guidance capabilities. The company asserts that its software-centric development philosophy reduces costs by over 80 percent relative to conventional defense acquisition pathways, positioning it competitively within Europe’s expanding hypersonic sector.
