Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle (EKV)
• Kill Vehicle for the Ground Based
Interceptor (GBI) component of Ground-
based Midcourse Defense (GMD)

• Advanced multi-color electro-optical


seeker – provides discrimination and hit-
to-kill technology for complete
destruction of the threat warhead

• Over 8 successful hit-to-kill intercepts


(latest successful intercept test 8 Dec
2008)

• Over 35 EKV’s delivered to date


• Operational interceptors emplaced at Ft.
Greely, Alaska and Vandenberg AFB,
California

• Development over 2 decades, $ >2B


Standard Missile 3 (SM-3)
• Sea-based Ballistic Missile Defense
interceptor providing upper tier, regional,
exo-atmospheric defense

• Leverages Standard Missile family


• Kinetic Warhead utilizes Solid Divert and
Attitude Control System (SDACS)

• 15 successful hit-to-kill intercepts


• Over 60 SM-3’s delivered
• Raytheon is working to develop a
platform capability for SM-3 operations
that is compatible with other international
systems

• Development spans 25 years, well north


of a billion dollars
But what if Enemy Adapts?

Challenges for the Mid Course/Upper Tier:


You’re in Space, Known Countermeasures.....
The Long Road to Missile Defense
• Relative to Mid Course/Upper Tier
•Going to space (exo) complicates matters
•Countermeasures complicate matters
• It took a long time…..
• It took a lot of money…..
• Most systems evolved from decade old legacy systems
• Have to test in a fish bowl…..
• It isn’t really about the interceptor…..
• And the Enemy will adapt……
So you have the fancy MD capability

And the enemy goes cheap...

The Long Road to Missile Defense
• No one realizes the need to deal with all missiles, all
phases of flight better than Israel
• It will take a long time…..
• It will take a lot of money…..
• Many legacy systems can offer near term help.....
• The enemy will change behavior
• And the Enemy will adapt……and we must also!
