Research abstract
During the proposed Phase II research and development effort, the project team will integrate previously demonstrated technologies into a low-cost Divert and Attitude Control System (DACS) that can convert on-demand from propulsive mode to warhead mode. Detonation of onboard propellants will provide kill enhancement to the Kinetic Kill Vehicle in order to achieve improved missile defense performance. The proposed Phase II project will include a DACS test that demonstrates a propulsion duty cycle that terminates in a planned detonation of the residual propellant in a yield exceeding that of TNT.
