Does anyone have any details on the German high velocity (Mach 5-6)
missile called the HFK (or HFK2)? Sounds like an interesting project
which I believe will be operational around 2010.

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)

Long-term, the technology might show up as an alternative missile for MEADS,
or perhaps Roland. But not by 2010.
