Lockheed Martin’s MKV-L Missile Defender

Posted by Kevin C. Tuesday, December 9, 2008

It’s not quite the Star Wars Missile Defense system, but Lockheed Martin’s autonomous MKV-L (Multiple Kill Vehicle) is designed to destroy incoming ballistic missiles, including those with multiple and decoy warheads. Designed as a zero-g defense system, checkout how well it’s hovering capabilities operates under the Earth’s gravity.

From Botjunkie.com

"Lockheed Martin’s Multiple Kill Vehicle is a system designed to intercept and destroy incoming ballistic missiles, the more advanced of which now come with a whole fleet of decoy warheads. The MKV-L autonomously maneuvers through the decoys and releases smaller destroyer vehicles to deal with whatever it decides is dangerous."
