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 an 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 Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) architecture that balances performance across the sensor, Command, Control, Battle Management and Communications (C2BMC), 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.

- Change Summary Explanation
- The increase in FY 2017 from PB 2018 to PB 2019 reflects funds for MOKV requested in the Multi Object Kill Vehicle Program Element (0604894C) and appropriated in the Common Kill Vehicle Technology Program Element (0603294C). The decrease in FY 2019 from PB 2018 to PB 2019 reflects delaying planned acceleration of kill vehicle and carrier vehicle component risk reduction as well as interoperability hardware-in-the-loop laboratory demonstrations.
