Interceptor Technology
Abstract
The Interceptor Technology project develops Divert and Attitude Control System (DACS) technology to enhance operational performance of future Multi-Object Kill Vehicle (MOKV). Technology investment will focus on DACS subsystem and system elements that support longer operation, multiple discrete events, precision attitude control, safe operation and minimum kill vehicle mass. In FY 2017, MDA will continue investment in a competitive next generation solid DACS development with industry to reduce propulsion component risk for the MOKV. The concept(s) being developed for MOKV application will transition to implementation with the industry MOKV developers. MDA will also continue to conduct component testing of lightweight, long duration Cooled Gas and Multi-Pulse Attitude Control Systems having application to both a Kill Vehicle and a Third Stage Rocket Motor, while anchoring system sizing and performance prediction models. MDA will define the baseline requirements using analytical tools to identify mature technology capable of supporting MOKV development. The project will also model and assess electromagnetic rail gun projectile technology readiness, suitability, and integration requirements for ballistic missile defense applications.
