HYDRA

Abstract

Previously funded JCTD. HYDRA supports the National Defense Strategy's focus to enhance forward force maneuver and posture resilience, as well as joint lethality in contested environments. HYDRA will provide U.S. Central Command and U.S. European Command the capability to deliver payloads from an undersea platform. HYDRA adapts the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's Hydra system and Office of Naval Research technologies to solve a Combatant Command capability shortfall, and will mature command and control capabilities to deliver the desired payload from an unmanned system. In FY 2018, HYDRA delivered a draft of the concept of operations, initial technical data packages and a prototyped payload capsule.
