MULTIPLE KILL VEHICLE (MKV) INTERCEPTOR AND METHOD FOR INTERCEPTING EXO AND ENDO-ATMOSPHERIC TARGETS

摘要

By sharing tasks between the carrier vehicle (12) and the kill vehicles (14), the multiple kill vehicle interceptor (10) provides a missile defence system capable of intercepting and killing multiple targets. The control sensor (38) is placed on the carrier vehicle (12) and provides target acquisition, discrimination, and mid-course guidance for all of the kill vehicles (14).
