Title: Multiple Kill Vehicle Completes Hover Test Source: viddler.com/mda.mil URL Source: http://na Published: Dec 8, 2008 Author: NA Post Date: 2008-12-08 23:33:17 by bluegrass Keywords: NoneViews: 383 Comments: 15
http://www.mda.mil/mdalink/pdf/08fyi0110.pdf 08-FYI-0110 December 3, 2008 Multiple Kill Vehicle Completes Hover Test Missile Defense Agency Director Lieutenant General Patrick O'Reilly announced that a test of the Multiple Kill Vehicle-L (MKV-L) was conducted Tuesday, Dec. 2 at the National Hover Test Facility at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. Preliminary indications are that planned test objectives were achieved. Objectives of the test included having the MKV-L hover under its own power and prove its capability to recognize and track a surrogate target in a flight environment. During the test, the MKV-L's propulsion system demonstrated maneuverability while tracking a target. The MKV-L transmitted video and flight telemetry to the ground. The MKV-L mission is to destroy medium through intercontinental-range ballistic missiles equipped with multiple warheads or countermeasures by using a single interceptor missile. During an actual hostile ballistic missile attack, the carrier vehicle with its cargo of small kill vehicles will maneuver into the path of an enemy missile. Using tracking data from the Ballistic Missile Defense System and its own seeker, the carrier vehicle will dispense and guide the kill vehicles to destroy any warheads or countermeasures. The MKV-L development team is led by Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company. The Raytheon Company is also developing a separate multiple kill vehicle technology (MKV-R) on a dual-path basis.
