This follows a competitive assessment of more than 140 expressions of interest. \n\nIn the next stage, Helsing will take HX-2 to the Santa Margarida military training area in Portugal, where it will be tested, as one of five finalists, during the EU OPEX26 operational experimentation campaign. Military users from EU Member States will assess how the system performs under controlled, realistic and contested conditions, across the full mission cycle. \n\nThe purpose of the Sentinel Strike Challenge is to generate evidence that defence ministries can use when deciding which technologies could contribute to future capabilities.",
