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. The Government will develop MOKV system engineering guidelines from industry concepts, government analysis, modeling, and simulation. The MOKV concepts and identified technology component risk reduction will formulate the trade space across cost, risk, and kill vehicle performance to establish requirements that are feasible and affordable for the engineering, manufacturing and development of a future MOKV. MDA anticipates deploying this capability across the interceptor fleet in the next decade to address the evolving threat. This capability relies on a 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 to defend the Homeland. As part of MOKV concept development, Industry will identify technology risk reduction efforts that support their concept. In FY 2017 the Agency will conduct concept risk reduction for selected component technologies that lower development risk and initiate preparations for a follow-on Proof of Concept phase from FY2018-FY2021. Potential candidate MOKV technology risk reduction efforts include engagement management, kill vehicle-to-kill vehicle communications, advanced sensor, propulsion systems, and inertial measurement units.
