Multi Object Kill Vehicle
Abstract
The Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) element of the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) provides combatant commanders with a continuously available (24 hours a day, 365 days a year) capability to defend the United States Homeland against Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) attacks. In order to address the evolving and expanding threat of ballistic missile attacks on the Homeland, MDA is developing a more capable ground-based interceptor with a Multi-Object Kill Vehicle (MOKV) that will be able to defeat complex future threats. MDA will develop an MOKV that is: - Effective, with the weapon payload able to use on-board and off-board data to acquire, track, select, engage and negate the threats - Capable, enabling protection of the defended area with sufficient battlespace to meet the warfighter needs - Enduring, available and reliable over a long service life - Resilient, with graceful degradation, and survivable in natural and man-made wartime environments - Compatible and fully integrated as a component of the BMDS, optimized to perform within the baseline BMDS architecture - Modular, supporting open architecture and standards to enable efficient upgrades and sustainment - Evolvable to future architecture expansion and modifications
