Common Kill Vehicle
Abstract
Competitive risk reduction and development of Multi Object Kill Vehicle (MOKV) concepts with industry. In FY 2018, funding for MOKV risk reduction is requested in this BA-3 Common Kill Vehicle Technology program element 0603294C and the MOKV development is requested in the BA-4 Multi Object Kill Vehicle program element 0604894C. - Conduct technology risk reduction for selected component and subsystem technologies that lower development risk. Potential candidate MOKV technology risk reduction efforts include engagement management, kill vehicle-to-kill vehicle communications, advanced sensor, propulsion systems, and inertial measurement units - Refine and update government MOKV concepts for independent performance predictions via government simulations to establish baseline for contractor concept assessments - Continue development of MOKV engagement management algorithms to analyze and characterize government concepts for managing the many-on-many engagement challenges due to complex threats - Conduct independent engagement management test framework to test and analyze industry concept performance, identify algorithm risk issues, confirm risk reduction progress, and enable continued Agency's MOKV requirements development - Continue to build, assemble, and test initial inertial measurement unit prototype to support final design, prototype fabrication, and model validation - Conduct planning for integrated demonstration test events focused on critical functions to validate reduction of technical risk - Define the requirements for a deployable MOKV using a structured, disciplined systems engineering process
