High Energy Missile Project

Abstract

In the search for increasing the lethality and survivability of light armored vehicles a small hypervelocity missile concept has been investigated. This research and development project called High Energy Missile (HEMi) technology demonstrator aimed at studying and demonstrating the key technologies to achieve the appropriate lethality to defeat modern main battle tanks at long range in a lightweight missile. The HEMi concept is described and a review of the supporting technologies is made with emphasis on the technical challenges.
