The Multiple Kill Vehicle (MKV) was a planned U.S. missile defense program [1] whose goal was to design, develop, and deploy multiple small kinetic energy -based warheads that can intercept and destroy multiple ballistic missiles, including possible decoy targets (penetration aids). The MKV concept provided the capability for more than one kill ...
A multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle (MIRV) is an exoatmospheric ballistic missile payload containing several warheads, each capable of being aimed to hit a different target. The concept is almost invariably associated with intercontinental ballistic missiles carrying thermonuclear warheads, even if not strictly being limited to ...
Further testing produced the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) Weapon System, the Medium Extended Air Defense System (MEADS) and the Multiple Kill Vehicle (MKV). The Titan I was the first version of the Titan family of rockets, first developed in October 1955, when the U.S. Air Force awarded the then Martin Company in Denver, Colorado ...
In 2019, the Pentagon scrapped work on a Boeing Co contract for a "kill vehicle," the tip of an interceptor that detaches in space and destroys the incoming warhead, due to technical design ...
This flight test of the Lockheed Martin Booster Vehicle with a mass-simulated kill vehicle payload resulted in failure due to an apparent power drop that prevented the mock EKV from separating from the booster. The flight was delayed by the third-stage rocket motor's circuit boards. IFT-13B 26 Jan 2004: Success
M142 HIMARS. The M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS, / ˈhaɪmɑːrz /) is a light multiple rocket launcher developed in the late 1990s for the United States Army and mounted on a standard U.S. Army Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) M1140 truck frame. The HIMARS carries one pod with either six Guided Multiple Launch ...
The Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle (EKV) is the Raytheon -manufactured interceptor component with subcontractor Aerojet of the U.S. Ground-Based Midcourse Defense (GMD), part of the larger National Missile Defense system. The EKV is boosted to an intercept trajectory by a boost vehicle (missile), where it separates from the boost vehicle and ...
The Lockheed Martin JLTV (Joint Light Tactical Vehicle) is a prototype armor-capable vehicle that was one of six original competitors for a Joint Light Tactical Vehicle that will replace the Humvee. [ 4] The JLTV goal was to provide a family of vehicles able to perform multiple missions protected, sustained and networked mobility for personnel ...
