Common Kill Vehicle Technology
Abstract
The MOKV program will enhance interceptor performance to enable the Warfighter to counter numerous and complex threats to the homeland by establishing the technological foundation for engaging multiple objects from a single interceptor compared to what is currently fielded. 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 enabling a more competitive, broader supplier industrial base. MOKV will rely on a Ballistic Missile Defense System (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 per kill to defend the Homeland.
