Common Kill Vehicle Technology

Abstract

The Multi Object Kill Vehicle program will enhance interceptor performance to enable the Warfighter to counter more numerous and complex threats to the homeland by establishing the technological foundation for engaging multiple objects from a single interceptor. The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is developing the concepts for a MOKV based on a modular, open systems architecture designed to common interfaces and standards, making upgrades easier and broadening MDA's vendor and supplier base. The MOKV will rely on a BMDS architecture that balances performance across the sensor, Command, Control, Battle Management and Communications, and kill vehicle elements. Analysis shows that having multiple kill vehicles on each interceptor can dramatically improve the performance of the system, significantly reduce the burden on interceptor inventory, and reduce cost to defend the Homeland. This funding provides technology risk reduction
