Multiple Kill Vehicle

[gerry301]

Think of the possibilities if it were used in aircraft missles with multiple targets. An AMRAAM120 -D with multiple warheads. Hmmmm. One missle four enemy aircraft taken out?

[CVKent317]

The technology that would enable the MKV-R kill vehicles to have one leader and the ability for one to take over for the other could potentially lead to A.I. that could easily be used to take humans out.

Would you like to know more?

[jabb3rw0cky]

Reminds me of the UAC videos you would see peppered throughout Doom3.

[mrmeow1]

Its worth noting that

1: they where doing this in the 80's and 90's

2: there are 0 operational details in the video

there is nothing wrong with presenting this information and actually it makes our enemies think twice. With luck they will all be working on countermeasures and start a new weapons race which they will never win (like what brought down the Soviet Union which was trying to match our military spending).

Well the MKV can be put on HK class drones and dropped in front of enemy troop movements. After detecting enemy troops it can hover and fire on the enemy causing confusion and our troops can come up from behind immediately after the vehicle is done firing. It is really a very amazing super weapon. Not only that but it can block missiles from the enemy. It is a multipurpose tool and should be respected for its almost ingenious nature.

They're not going to give anything more than vague details about this kind of thing. This is an amazingly difficult problem to tackle, and the fact that there has been a lot of success with the AEGIS, midcourse interceptor and THAAD systems is very impressive in and of itself.

Of course, the next level will be improving these further and eventually working out multiple kill vehicles, capable of dealing with MIRVS.

It's a tough nut to crack, but we've come far already.

o great! now everyone that hates america knows what we are doing :D

[JessBisme]

You know, I wonder why the government releases this sort of information. Why would you want the details of our future protection available on the internet for all to see?

[charles1880]

I agree. I don't want our enemies to know anything about what we have!!!

[gamebroken]

It's a propaganda tool, nothing more, nothing less. That said, this is all theoretical bullshit anyway. I mean hell, the current system still can't even reliably hit 1 dummy warhead.

[fixitluis]

its not the goverment, its a company that sells weapons and ideas to the goverment and theres a good chance the goverment didnt contract with them to buy this product, and its not much a threat its a solution to a threat. this isnt too much about top secret. its one out of many solutions that people come up with towards the goverment with like a contractor bid in a sense

[phaloxxx]

actually all videos like this are basically well to do freelance companies selling there blue prints to the highest bidder, this is a bid to sell to others, if its already been bought then its a propaganda stunt to scare off enemies from even trying anything, you show them your holding a royal flush who's gonna go against you =P

[z31club]

Russians cant even build a car that works, they'd never be able to develop something like this.

[rescuecheck]

Nice, hopefully the Democrats wont cut funding because the Russian continue to develop multiple warhead platforms.

[Laqez]

The technology rules but not as much as the 80's music in the background.

[W3bbo2]

Starship Troopers-style TV, anyone?

[XRaDiiX]

i was thinking the same thing lol

[dmke]

lol totally
