US Missile Defense Agency video of the 2 December 2008 free-flight hover test of Lockheed Martin's Multiple Kill Vehicle (MKV-L). The MKV is designed to allow a single interceptor to destroy a ballistic missile equipped with multiple warheads or countermeasures. In Lockheed's design, a seeker-equipped carrier vehicle maneuvers into the path of the ballistic missile then dispenses and guides small kill vehicles to their targets. In its first test, the MKV-L hovered for 20 seconds in a special facility at Edwards AFB, California, while recognizing and tracking a simulated target.

Not gonna lie, it's annoying to see basically all the comments making jokes when in fact this is amazing tech. The ability to hover and adjust axial position like that while keeping indpendant of gravitational effect is astounding. Props to the engineers!

Hurling through space making those adjustments to essentially shoot a bullet with a bullet. If people are making jokes I thinks it's because they don't realize where this kill vehicle would be operating, what it's expected to do and how it's expected to do it. ABM kinetic kill vehicle defense is hard to visualize mentally if your first exposure to any of this is just this video.

No, those are the reaction control thrusters firing, keeping it stable and hovering. What's impressive is that this device is not designed to hover, let alone do anything on the ground. It's an ICBM interceptor, designed to carry smaller versions of itself to counter countermeasures and multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle warheads, ie ICBMs carrying more than one warhead.

@@i.l6916 they don't "hover over" anything. You strap them to the top of a ABM (anti-ballistic missile) missile, like you do with any nuke/MIRV and you YEET it into space. The kill vehicle (what's shown in this video) is released from the rocket (picture any rocket releasing any payload that you've seen, NASA, SpacX, etc) and then uses those trusters to make sure it can physically rub itself into a MIRV or single re-entry vehicle (nuclear warhead). Mind you, doing all of this many miles above the earth and at mind melting speeds. It's pretty much shooting and intercepting a bullet with another bullet.

Very cool, you can see some of the red fumes from the rocket oxidizer leaking in a few places. This thing is definitely propelled by hypergolics, probably hydrazine and nitrogen tetroxide, both very very nasty chemicals that cause cancer in your cancer and melt you too, with the advantage that they are easily storeable under all normal temperatures and ignite instantly on contact. Fun fact, the Lunar lander used pretty much the same propellants, with one big thruster on the bottom and many smaller thrusters spaced all around the vehicle to provide the same type of steering control. Size this thing up by 25 times and add a platform and some controls, then strap yourself in and go for a ride.

@taneliharkonen2463 2 жыл бұрын

That is fast for a human, but for a machine that is not fast. Every correction thrust comes only few times a second since you can sense individual kicks. For example in drones (which could be a good comparison here), a new throttle input value for a motor is calculated 4000-30 000 times a second. If that 30k rate would make a blip every time it updates the motors state, the sound resulting would be 10k over the human hearing range. And the drone cpu:s are very slow when compared to cpus we use in our devices. Youre totally right, but everything is very subjective 😅 I think the real appeal comes from those awesome rocket thrusters! 💪

@44R0Ndin 2 жыл бұрын

@@taneliharkonen2463 The real issue with that is that these rocket motors are controlled by solenoid valves in the propellant feed lines, which have a fixed frequency beyond which they will fail to respond. These kind of valves are either "On" or "Off", there is no in-between. And then the thrusters themselves have their own "reaction time" since there's a set time that they take to start up, reach stable operation, and then shut down again. All this means that there's a certain "granularity" to the degree of control you can execute over this vehicle. Basically, the computer's probably calculating if it should fire the motor several hundred thousand times a second, but because the control mechanisms won't respond that quickly that doesn't translate into what you see and hear in this test.

Lorewise, Skynet limits its machines out of fear they will rebel. Otherwise they are capable of reacting super fast. You can see great examples with the HK turrets.

@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.

Some people feel DICE may implement a nuclear weapon of some sort into Final Stand DLC. This does support that theory in that Lockheed did develop this MKV to shoot ICBMs out of the sky along with the multiple warheads they carry, so who knows we will just have to wait and see. hopefully they add a few more clues in the Dragons Teeth DLC for us to investigate!

that thing is pretty good. so around 20 secconds of hovering flight. to compensate for 9.8m/s squared. thay thing has around 200m/s. of deltaV for course corrections. thats amazing

@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.

The wiki says it wasn't finished or adopted due to budget restructuring. But that's also what they want the enemy to think in case they actually ended up using them.

@seshmarls "well 9.8m/s^2 is a way of showing acceleration but if you were to accelerate at 9.8m/s^2 in 40.2 hours you would travel around 64 million miles" There is such a thing as terminal velocity. Also, with the concept that the vehicle is hovering you have 9.8 m/s^2 in opposing directions so it's actually traveling about 0 miles instead of 64 million.
