Multi Object Kill Vehicle

Abstract

MDA has implemented a structured, disciplined systems engineering process to assure the MOKV is a MDS solution. The systems engineering effort will define the requirements for a deployable MOKV. The Government will develop MOKV system engineering guidelines from industry concepts, government analysis, modeling, and simulation. Results from MOKV concept development and follow on technology risk reduction efforts will inform the Top Level Requirements development needed in order to execute a feasible, affordable future MOKV Product Development. MDA anticipates deploying this capability in the next decade to address the evolving threat. As part of MOKV concept development, industry identified technology component risk reduction efforts that support their concepts. MOKV technology risk reduction efforts include maturation of engagement management algorithms, communications, seekers, advanced sensors, Divert and Attitude Control Systems propulsion, integrated avionics, and Guidance, Navigation and Control technology. The GMD element of the MDS 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 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 MOKV that will be able to defeat complex future threats.
