Multi Object Kill Vehicle

Abstract

The MOKV program will enhance interceptor performance by improving discrimination and adding the capability to destroy several objects within a threat complex using multiple kill vehicles carried on a single interceptor. MDA is developing the concepts for a MOKV based on a modular, open architecture designed to common interfaces and standards, making upgrades easier and broadening MDA's vendor and supplier base. The Agency will focus on competitive development and risk reduction of MOKV concepts with industry in FY 2017. This capability relies on a BMDS architecture that balances performance across the sensor, Command, Control, Battle Management and Communications and kill vehicle elements. The Agency anticipates deploying this capability across the interceptor fleet in the next decade to address the evolving threat. As part of MOKV concept development, industry will identify technology risk reduction efforts that support their concept. In FY 2017, MDA will conduct concept risk reduction for selected component technologies that lower development risk. Potential candidate MOKV technology risk reduction efforts include engagement management, kill vehicle-to-kill vehicle communications, advanced sensor, propulsion systems, and inertial measurement units. MD40 Program-Wide Support (PWS) consists of essential non-headquarters management efforts providing integrated and efficient support to MDA functions and activities across the entire BMDS.
