Hover from MDA

[chillz27]

i know it's real and everything but this does look fake as shit, CGI style

[airsoftdude1990]

Thank you Obama for canceling such an awesome program....

[investornator]

MDA is its like Nulka decoy missile system?

[shaftster2001]

There are materials that will not burn in normal atmospheric conditions, ever heard of nomex?

[libbern]

Cool demonstration, but why the hell does it has such a stupid name? Multiple kill vehicle...^^

[weiszed]

Kill vehicles are the name given to kinetic warheads on interceptors. The idea behind this project was to put several of these in an interceptor to take out possible countermeasures on an incoming nuclear warhead so multiple missiles don't need to be fired to make sure the target hit wasn't a decoy (interceptors are expensive and use up resources on the firing station used to track other targets). Thus, multiple kill vehicle

[libbern]

Aha... Then it doesnt sound that barbaric:)

[cyberhuninvan]

Where can I buy one? I think it would work great for frightening my neighbor's dog.

[bloutyben]

i think its cool

[Hadaway6]

Real life friend's dad works for The Defense Administration and was telling me the details of this. It's Real.

[jestertru]

Actually it's ancient. This video was made in the the 1980s.

[taigeto]

as fake as Madonna´s age

[volvagxier]

No, you just dont bother trying to validate anything.... I love how there is alot of footage of the MKV out there too. DO SOME RESEARCH!

[billyjackskin]

I agree, DO SOME REASEARCH, if you have a computer and access to the web and are able to post a comment on Youtube, there is not much excuse for being a clueless moron these days unless you're just too lazy to bother.

[otakonpop]

INCREIBLE

[arturopotter]

that is so fake

[ResearchX]

Those are not bullets. Those are actually rockets shooting in different directions that stabilizes the vehicle and enables it to be moved in any direction. The concept has been used before with Dragon and TOW missle systems. Although the ToW is wire guided, it uses small rockets to move the missle in different directions. This appears as an attempt to develope a wireless missle system.

[ralfsolo]

it is not fake it is blank bullets, you moron, because it is a test.

[SoCalSpooky]

First off, it's a concept vehicle for a actual prototype defense system. This model does not shoot bullets, and the actual prototype shoots counter measures at potential threats; i.e. Commie Nuclear Missiles or Terrorist Biochemical Missiles. Swear the Commies and Terrorists are in this together. The Freemasons are funding the entire operation.

[Dashater]

you idiots calling this fake might need to do a little more of "google Searching" before looking like idiots. Lockheed Martin's MKV-L

[laymarko]

No. It's fake because it's launching pink unicorns towards the camera, but you see no horse manure. Fakity-fake-fake.

[jlamb27]

fake

[FrenchConcrete]

I wish they could patch the cement walkway in my local park.

[ddawguga]

Concrete cannot shoot down ballistic missiles that threaten the lives of your family and friends.

[cheetos530]

Thanks for sharing this, as for the people claiming its fake.. let them be. The Technology is already here for alot of these prototypes and for the guy talking about Pressurized Air, Thats gotta be an awful big tank for the amount of time it was up, givin the multiple movements... I could see many more uses for this same technology in the real world. Nothing the DOD wouldn't mind funding.

[VileVeil]

wasn't there something like this on the last Doctor Who series?

[cargosquid]

I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords. Hail Skynet!

[diviz0r]

500 lbs?! whered you get that info?

i figured it would be some sort of plastic containers containing some sore of presurised air?!

[CrackMagick]

that is obviously fake people

[heatsketch]

is it? how do you know, mr. military technology expert?

[billyjackskin]

I'm not sure why anyone would think this is fake or computer generated. These hover tests have been taking place for over 20 years. Most of the vehicles were much smaller though and this one weighs in at almost 500 lbs. The net would burn eventually but it's special material not easily ignited. It's not plain manila rope that's for sure.

[Tomakak]

Now that is seven shades of awesome.

[sarjislinja]

Nazies.

[monkeyboss1]

thats pretty cool, it doesnt look fake.

[JohnDakota]

It looks real with the exception that the jets should be burning the rope. From the 3rd angle the enclosure appears to be made out of a normal type of rope, nothing metallic. The main jet that lifts it off and keeps it aloft should be burning right through the enclosure.

[JohnDakota]

Looking at the liftoff the rope may be damaged, but the main jet is still so close to the netting through the whole test you'd expect it to be burning the net.

[moodiekal]

hard to belive this is computer generated based on all the factors of the room and the device.

This is great can't wait to see what the future holds..

[cubkthomas]

Bad...........Ass............

[TysterS]

"Its not Real, its computer generated"

Wrong... it is real. Its a missile killer system and that is actual video. Its been in development for a good 10 years.

[BudFudpucker]

Its not Real, its computer generated>

[drumblebumm]

Looks like a big waste of money.

[heatsketch]

how so?

[LETHLSS]

HK - T08

[ddawguga]

Absolutely incredible!

[joespoon04]

That is one of the most impressive things I've ever seen.

[hunt247]

Fake American propaganda George Bush Oil Iraq! Obviously fake. GO OBAMA!!

[singedrac]

Holy shit that's awesome.
