The Hybrid Maximum Principle is a consequence of Pontryagin Maximum Principle

We give a simple proof of the Maximum Principle for smooth hybrid control systems by reducing the hybrid problem to an optimal control problem of Pontryagin type and then by using the classical Pontryagin Maximum Principle.
