This is not scary, this technology is to be used to destroy enemy missiles in orbit, it will become essencial sooner or later, so suspending these programs without alternatives will prove to be a catastrophic error.
I don't understand why people believe this is fake. Look up videos of the M47 Dragon ATGM. It used small explosive charges instead of thrusters to steer the missile to the target and it looks similar to this MKV-L when flying. It's a shame when people think CGI are real. It's an even bigger shame when people think real things are CGI.
Not cgi. I've personally seen it (earlier generation than this one), and work with people who work on it. It's the same basic technology as the kinetic warhead on the Standard Missile 3.
@maqsad1 I would assume that that's the point. You don't squander billions of dollars on a missile defense platform unless it's going to be pretty good at course corrections. I'd think that it'd be hard to hit a missile with an object when you can't even compensate for the thrust from a rocket engine firing.
@johntheactor I was referring to the recoil from the bullets being fired not the thrust of the rockets. I'm assuming it's close to impossible to simultaneously fire bullets in opposing directions which is the only way that device could accomplish perfect jitter correction
@maqsad1 Oh, I see, the misunderstanding is that it doesn't fire bullets. It's just a platform for delivering the twelve or so smaller kill vehicles (the white cylinders) attached to the device after being launched from an antiballistic missile platform on the ground. Its main goal is to get the smaller kill vehicles close enough so that when they're launched, they can make a hard kill on nuclear warheads by direct kinetic impact. I thought it was CG at first too, when I didn't know what it was.
@emilen2 I wasn't saying it's not technologically feasable. I just thought that it was a CGI rendition rather than original footage. For whatever reason they may not have been allowed to show actual footage due to security reasons who knows. It just looked more CGI than real.
@johnnyex This is a thruster test. Basically, moving left, right, up, down. In space it would be going forward while doing these maneuvers as it approaches the threat.
People complain about this being a waste of Taxpayer Money, but come on. What are you going to do when a real war breaks out? Whether you like it or not, things like this are necessary.
America, with all of it's resources and money, spends time with bullshit like this. WHY? WHY SPEND IT ON WAR?! The amount of opportunities that are being flushed down the toilet just to make new weapons sicken me...
@soylentgreenb how the hell was I suppose to know the MKV went several kilometers per second? Was that in the description of the video? I think not! But congratulations on being a expert on some shit nobody gives a fuck about. And I was just trying to crack a joke with that comment! I don't give a fuck about that stupid ass RC plane. Unless I could fly one up your ass. Go fuck yourself!
This particular design features a bundle of smaller interceptors around the central kill vehicle, which are released and then pick their targets intelligently with the aim of improving the chance of a successful intercept.
The way it works is simple. To put things in layman's terms, the payload is mounted to a rocket and launched into space much like any satellite. Its trajectory is set to intercept an incoming ballistic missile warhead. The reason why this thing doesn't need to go forward or backward is because it's already on a ballistic trajectory. All it needs to do is use its sensors and thrusters to match the trajectory of the incoming warhead and crash into it. Poof, no more nuke.
I'd like to clear up a few misconceptions. First off, the cameras are shaking because each pulse from the thrusters produces a shockwave. They're not being held by human operators standing outside the safety net; if you were that close, the damn thing would rattle your brains. Second, this thing is a prototype for a ballistic missile interceptor payload.
@Chopper1217724 Use you brain. The incomming warhead is going several kilometers per second, this is going several kilometers per second in the opposite direction. These itty-bitty thrusters just do the final guidance to intercept the target.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
after looking at this a couple of times, its obviously CGI, the shading, the jet flame is very fake looking. They try to sell it pretty good with the initial smoke and the shaking room, but the trained eye cannot be fooled. I know this from having seen quite a few CGIs in my time.
Because technology like this is definitely impossible today, let alone in the eighties. Rockets that launch things like satellites into space? Complete rubbish.
OK, First the design is horrible, the thing can't go forward or backward, only up down left right, second its inside a rope cage and yet its clearly shooting out a jet flame, that would light it on fire. The jet flame looks fake, the rate at which it is burning at would make this thing fly through the roof, not hover in one spot, thats how a jet works. And finally, whats the reason for the camera shaking besides trying to make it look more real. The terrible design gives away that its fake.
@progress200 even then, it would kinda go up and down even a little, but instead it stays at the exact same height the whole time. Also you're right about the fuel, and using a jet like that for hovering purposes just doesn't make sense. And once again, the design is horrible, the thing has terrible maneuverability
@timfosho In fact, the thruster isn't firing the whole time. It's only hovering. If it did have a continuous acceletarion, it would go up. And there is nothing that tells you that the rope cage is made of flammable materials. (although this smells like CGI all the way)
What people watching this didn't realise is that this is supposed to be carried by a rocket and use this baby to kill a ballistic missile and it's penetrating aids.
Videos like this, impressive as they are, always make me think about peak oil. Is it me or are we acting like we aren't running out of oil? As I understand it we'll run out of oil in under a century, right? Bringing our entire global infrastructure to a halt, starving billions and, if you're pessimistic/realistic, killing much of the rest in war. Am I imagining it or are our governments building weapons to fight those wars and keep survivors in line? Tell me I'm paranoid, I want to believe you.
what in the hell is that thing running on? I bet these guys have secret fuels they have developed and discovered that they are not telling anybody about
is that some kind of controlled enviroemtn it is in as it keep reterning to its docking station. is the enviroments gravity controlled or something? Just thing of the things they have they don't tell anybody about or talk about to anybody
@1982FMJ It's designed to work mainly in the upper atmosphere, but regardless - it's launched from a missile, then using those thrusters it maneuvers into position and fires a kinetic projectile at the incoming missile, destroying it.
The difference is that it can then turn around or move around in order to get into the path of another missile and fire another projectile at it at as well. Advantage is that you can get more use per missile, meaning you can deal with more threats at once.
Its flying. Being that it can spurt energy in any direction at an instant(which is what those jets of flames are) it can outmaneuver ANY missile by far because it can turn instantly and smash into the incoming missile. Future rockets will have 10-20 of these that will disassemble from one rocket and chase after 10-20 missiles.
What the fuck is wrong with you people? The Great One gives you science and instead of making mega-LSD and blowjob machines you create shit like this! For shame!
@FSquid How is a hovering pod that belches flame not Bad Ass?!?!!? Still I admit that mega-LSD and/or a blowjob machine would be equally Bad Ass......In fact I would be happy to test this blowjob machine...if you happen to have a prototype.
@cubezero01 It's a warhead killer. There's a video in the related video list called "ABM Multiple Kill Vehicle (MKV)" that explains exactly what it does. I think the MKV in this test is the MKV-L.
The Multiple Kill Vehicle (MKV) in spite of its name doesn't kill anything (unless you drop on on your head). It intercepts and knocks down incoming missiles (designed to kill you) by sheer inertial - no explosives involved.
Sort of. I think what they meant by 'kill' is that it terminates incoming missile threats; i.e., it kills the missile. They drop multiples of these (in clusters) to intercept multiple threats.
If it's exo-atmospheric which I believe this project was then it uses kinetic energy alone. They are called kinetic warheads so that might be the source of your confusion.
... If you're suggesting we do NOTHING instead, then you are indeed correct in assuming that there are "dense people around these Defense Department Videos."
The technology is in its infancy, but it will only improve. I'm sure you understand that in military technology, a measure is taken, a weapon is made. Then a countermeasure is devised to defeat it. Then the weapon is upgraded, or a new weapon is made. It's called "development." Or would you rather technology become stagnant?
With something like this you don't need a warhead all you need are ball bearings in orbit a ball bearing does a lot of damage. Just drop them in the path of your intended target and move off let it come to you.
"Not seeing any warheads in this video... what exactly were you watching?"
Naturally, you don't implement a multi-million dollar project without testing it. This is a test to see if it can track a target while maneuvering as it mentions in the video description.
But can it blend?

The Multiple Kill Vehicle (MKV) in spite of its name doesn't kill anything (unless you drop on on your head). It intercepts and knocks down incoming missiles (designed to kill you) by sheer inertial - no explosives involved.

Sort of. I think what they meant by 'kill' is that it terminates incoming missile threats; i.e., it kills the missile. They drop multiples of these (in clusters) to intercept multiple threats.

it's actually filled with warheads, not just pure kinetic energy

That makes sense. I guess to make sure they detonate the missiles, yeah. Thanks for the info.

If it's exo-atmospheric which I believe this project was then it uses kinetic energy alone. They are called kinetic warheads so that might be the source of your confusion.

All this money going into killing machines instead of real science.

Obviously you have no idea how many of the modern everday applications started off as means of killing something.

I built six of these that came with my K'Nex homegrown invasion defense kit last Christmas to protect my toy pom XD

I realize what it kills looks to be a lot of people's time and money.
Not seeing any warheads in this video... what exactly were you watching?
Dense people around these Defense Department videos....

... If you're suggesting we do NOTHING instead, then you are indeed correct in assuming that there are "dense people around these Defense Department Videos."
The technology is in its infancy, but it will only improve. I'm sure you understand that in military technology, a measure is taken, a weapon is made. Then a countermeasure is devised to defeat it. Then the weapon is upgraded, or a new weapon is made. It's called "development." Or would you rather technology become stagnant?

With something like this you don't need a warhead all you need are ball bearings in orbit a ball bearing does a lot of damage. Just drop them in the path of your intended target and move off let it come to you.

"Not seeing any warheads in this video... what exactly were you watching?"
Naturally, you don't implement a multi-million dollar project without testing it. This is a test to see if it can track a target while maneuvering as it mentions in the video description.
Dense people indeed.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
how many billions of dollars and how many years of how many scientist's lives went into building this clumsy, useless, loud, piece of killing-junk?

you do realize that what it "kills" are incoming warheads that disperse from their rocket right?
