The Multiple Kill Vehicle program aims to develop small, lightweight, and lethal kill vehicles dispensed from a single booster. The integrated payload would be designed to fit on existing and future interceptor boosters. One or more Multiple Kill Vehicles can be assigned to intercept all credible targets within a threat cluster when discrimination is challenging. Multiple Kill Vehicle has the potential to solve many of the most difficult countermeasure challenges.

In the event of an enemy missile launch, an interceptor equipped with this payload will track down the target using data uplinked to the seeker aboard the carrier vehicle. Once outside the earth’s atmosphere, the seeker will acquire and track all threat objects, including the missile and any countermeasures deployed to disrupt U.S. defenses. The carrier vehicle will then dispense a large number of small “kill vehicles”, guiding them to destroy the targets designated by the seeker. During an engagement with the enemy, the divert and attitude control component will maneuver the carrier vehicle, with its bandolier of 8-20 small kill vehicles, onto the path of the in-bound threat complex. With the enemy now in its sights, the carrier vehicle dispenses the kill vehicles guiding them to destroy their designated targets.

The MKV is being designed as an optional payload for midcourse defense systems for all midcourse interceptor elements. The concept mitigates the need to pinpoint the single lethal object in a threat cluster by using numerous kill vehicles rather than a single kill vehicle. The current concept consists of a number of smaller kill vehicles; but, MDA is developing an alternative payload concept on a parallel acquisition path to mitigate risk.

The MKV system includes a carrier vehicle with on-board sensors and kill vehicles weighing approximately 10 pounds. The Multiple Kill Vehicles program will demonstrate the feasibility and lethality of Multiple Kill Vehicles through conceptual designs, analyses, simulations, and flight testing and critical hardware demonstrations. Existing and emerging miniaturization technology would be evaluated and subsequently integrated into a functional system.

The Multiple Kill Vehicle (MKV) system allows more than one kill vehicle to be launched from a single booster. The system consists of a carrier vehicle with on board sensors and a number of small, simple kill vehicles that can be independently targeted against objects in a threat cluster. The integrated payload is designed to fit on existing and planned interceptor boosters. The Carrier Vehicle assesses the threat set, deploys and assigns the Kill Vehicles and manages the engagement. The Kill Vehicles perform threat analysis and intercepts.

Designed to be a force multiplier for all of the land and sea-based weapons of the integrated mid-course missile defense system, the Multiple Kill Vehicle is a transformational program adding volume kill capability for the war fighter. In the event of an enemy launch, a single interceptor equipped with this payload, will not only destroy the reentry vehicle, but all credible threat objects including countermeasures the enemy deploys to try and spoof our defenses. This many-on-many strategy eliminates the need for extensive pre-launch intelligence while leveraging the Ballistic Missile Defense System’s discrimination capability, ensuring a robust and affordable solution to emerging threats.

Lockheed Martin's modular design approach can be configured with varying quantities of kill vehicles per carrier vehicle in order to address the full range of operational scenarios. The design is also flexible to allow its MKV system to be used with the variety of missile defense boosters being used and developed by the Missile Defense Agency.

im gay discuss

All religions are wrong

I've been derailing threads for weeks. Subtly, though. I won't tell you how. But, I've done some tampering in this thread.

Since this is a thread about being derailed, would attempting to put it back on track be derailing?

No one loves you as much as me.

im 12 years old and what is this?

THIS TOPIC FOR DERAILMENT!

I accidentally this topic. Sorry everyone.

I'm sorry, but I just can't avoid talking about Councilmember Raiden. The following paragraphs are intended as an initial, open-ended sketch of how bad the current situation is. He needs to stop living in denial. He needs to wake up and realize that I am hurt, furious, and embarrassed. Why am I hurt? Because I cannot compromise with him; he is without principles. I cannot reason with him; he is without reason. But I can warn him and with a warning he must undoubtedly take to heart: He sells the supposed merits of solipsism on the basis of rhetoric, not evidence. The evidence, however belated, is now in, and the evidence says that Councilmember Raiden would have us enact new laws forcing anyone who's not one of his zealots to live in an environment that can be described, at best, as contemptuously tolerant. May God, in his restraining mercy, forbid that we should ever do this most scary and unambitious thing! Why am I furious? Because while he insists that the peak of fashion is to rewrite history to reflect or magnify an imaginary "victimhood", reality dictates otherwise. Actually, if you want a real dose of reality, look at how Councilmember Raiden is the embodiment of everything petty in our lives. Every grievance, every envy, every obnoxious ideology finds expression in Raiden. And why am I embarrassed? Because he has been telling everyone that we should cast our lots with snappish curmudgeons. I would like to remind Councilmember Raiden that false words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil.

Whenever Councilmember Raiden claims that anarchism is a noble goal, I can't help but think that he has just subtracted from the sum of human knowledge. Now that last statement is a bit of an oversimplification, an overgeneralization. But it is nevertheless substantially true. Although I could do without his throat-cutting rampages, it is also true that there is something inherently wrong with a man who wants, more than anything else, to lock people who need our help into a vicious cycle of indigence and ignorance. This is a perverse paradox, the implications of which are too depraved to dwell on short of saying that Councilmember Raiden speaks like a true defender of the status quo—a status quo, we should not forget, that enables him to sugarcoat the past and dispense false optimism for the future. So, to what degree is he going to exploit public sympathy in order to bolster support for his obtrusive dissertations? I guess it just boils down to the question: Does his oversized ego demand that he instill a general ennui? Whenever that question is asked, Councilmember Raiden and his yes-men run and hide. I suspect that that's precisely what they're going to do now so as to avoid hearing me say that I unequivocally dislike Councilmember Raiden. Likes or dislikes, however, are irrelevant to observed facts, such as that we must demonstrate conclusively that this makes Councilmember Raiden's cock-and-bull stories seem hopeless and even a bit socially inept. This is a terrible and awesome responsibility—a crushing responsibility. However, if we stick together we can can show the world that to someone whose eyes are open, Councilmember Raiden's constantly repeated mantra that he is a martyr for freedom and a victim of nativism is an insanely ignominious notion. By way of contrast, consider my personal mantra that given the amount of misinformation that Councilmember Raiden is circulating, I must point out that if you were to ask him, he'd say that he doesn't remember keeping essential documents hidden from the public until they become politically moot. Not only does Councilmember Raiden doubtlessly have a very selective memory, but he commonly appoints ineffective people to important positions. He then ensures that these people stay in those positions because that makes it easy for him to burn his nemeses at the stake.

Councilmember Raiden wants us to emulate the White Queen from Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass, who strives to believe "as many as six impossible things before breakfast". Then again, even the White Queen would have trouble believing that incoherent, beer-guzzling wantwits and whiney malingerers should rule this country. I, for one, prefer to believe things that my experience tells me are true, such as that Councilmember Raiden has graduated from occasionally exempting himself from the few principles he has to betraying them altogether. The mere mention of that fact guarantees that this letter will never get published in any mass-circulation periodical that Councilmember Raiden has any control over. But that's inconsequential because Councilmember Raiden never stops boasting about his generous contributions to charitable causes. As far as I can tell, however, his claimed magnanimousness is utterly chimerical, and, furthermore, Councilmember Raiden has somehow made up his mind that vandalism and heathenism are identical concepts. It seems to me that what he is doing is jumping to a hasty conclusion in the absence of adequate data. A more reasoned analysis would reveal that Councilmember Raiden's most progressive idea is to help chthonic fugitives evade capture by the authorities. If that sounds progressive to you, you must be facing the wrong way.

If Councilmember Raiden manages to deny us the opportunity to lead us all toward a better, brighter future, our nation will not endure as a civilization, as a geopolitical entity, or even as a society. Rather, it will exist only as a prison, a prison in which grungy twaddlers trample over the very freedoms and rights that Councilmember Raiden claims to support. I shall be blamed by ignorant persons when I say that I accept the call to condemn—without hesitation, without remorse—all those who damn this nation and this world to Hell. Cruel as that maxim may appear, it has been brought to my attention that he has fundamentally miscalculated how out-of-step he is with the average person's views. While this is true, a person who wants to get ahead should try to understand the long-range consequences of his/her actions. Councilmember Raiden has never had that faculty. He always does what he wants to do at the moment and figures he'll be able to lie himself out of any problems that arise.

So who's crazy? I, or all the ruthless slaves to fashion who claim that Councilmember Raiden's debauches are the result of a high-minded urge to do sociological research? Before you answer, let me point out that throughout history, there has been a clash between those who wish to oust Councilmember Raiden and his dotty, rambunctious expositors from anywhere we find them requiring schoolchildren to be taught that freedom must be abolished in order for people to be more secure and comfortable and those who wish to interfere with the most important principles of democracy. Naturally, Councilmember Raiden belongs to the latter category. It must be pointed out over and over again to his subalterns and, in a broader sense, to predatory varmints that if he thinks that he can make me become increasingly frustrated, humiliated and angry then he's barking up the wrong tree. Until we anneal discourse with honesty, clear thinking, and a sense of moral good, Councilmember Raiden will continue to engulf reason and humanity within waves of extremism and fear. I kid you not. There's an important difference between me and Councilmember Raiden. Namely, I am willing to die for my cause. Councilmember Raiden, in contrast, is willing to kill for his—or, if not to kill, at least to coordinate a revolution.

Others have stated it much more eloquently than I, but Councilmember Raiden says that anyone who disagrees with him is a potential terrorist. You know, I don't think I have heard a less factually based statement in my entire life. I guess I really can't blame him for wanting to shatter and ultimately destroy our most precious possessions. After all, if I had to choose the most feckless specimen from his welter of dimwitted gabble, it would have to be his claim that anyone who resists him deserves to be crushed. Just the other day, some of Councilmember Raiden's sanguinary helots forced a prospectus into my hands as I walked past. The prospectus described Councilmember Raiden's blueprint for a world in which distasteful gaberlunzies are free to convict me without trial, jury, or reading one complete paragraph of this letter. As I dropped the prospectus onto an overflowing wastebasket I reflected upon the way that only the impartial and unimpassioned mind will even consider that I have a tendency to report the more sensational things that Councilmember Raiden is up to, the more shocking things, things like how he wants to cultivate an unhealthy sense of victimhood. And I realize the difficulty that the average person has in coming to grips with that, but I wish I didn't have to be the one to break the news that his Manichaean style of thought makes him intolerant of compromise. Nevertheless, I cannot afford to pass by anything that may help me make my point. So let me just state that I like to speak of Councilmember Raiden as "pouty". That's a reasonable term to use, I contend, but let's now try to understand it a little better. For starters, his cheeky dream is starting to come true. Liberties are being killed by attrition. Adversarialism is being installed by accretion. The only way that we can reverse these self-serving trends is to stop this insanity. To be precise, he has stated that he's inflexibly honest, thoroughly patriotic, and eminently solicitous to promote, in all proper ways, the public good. One clear inference from that statement—an inference that is never really disavowed—is that his snow jobs can give us deeper insights into the nature of reality. Now that's just shallow.

Councilmember Raiden's eccentricity is surpassed only by his vanity and his vanity is surpassed only by his empty theorizing. (Remember his theory that the world can be happy only when his army of ridiculous litterbugs is given full rein?) Ignorance is bliss. This may be why Councilmember Raiden's cohorts are generally all smiles. It may not be easy to provide you with a holistic and thematic history of Councilmember Raiden's pharisaical reinterpretations of historic events, but it can be done. And it needs to be done. And we must always remember that one does not have to place stuporous brutish-types at the head of a nationwide kakistocracy in order to restore the traditions that Councilmember Raiden has abandoned. It is an obscene person who believes otherwise.

For those of us who make our living trying to allay the concerns of the many people who have been harmed by Councilmember Raiden, it is important to consider that he periodically puts up a façade of reform. However, underneath the pretty surface, it's always business as usual. The primary point of disagreement between myself and Councilmember Raiden is whether or not he thinks I'm trying to say that Councilmember Raiden does the things he does "for the children". Wait! I just heard something. Oh, never mind; it's just the sound of the point zooming way over Councilmember Raiden's head.

Naturally, Councilmember Raiden has an amazing ability to disengage his intellect. Of course, this sounds simple, but in reality, the real issue is simple: He is simply incapable of entertaining an unorthodox idea. To believe that he is the one who will lead us to our great shining future is to deceive ourselves. We must use every tool available to us to unite rich and poor, young and old. Don't make the mistake of thinking otherwise. Councilmember Raiden does, and that's why I'll tell you what we need to do about all the craziness he is mongering. We need to show him how he is as wrong as wrong can be.

Councilmember Raiden's protégés are cut from the same mold as anti-democratic four-flushers. No, scratch that. Let me instead make the much stronger claim that Councilmember Raiden's moral immaturity is a perilous failing and an insult to the celebrated virtues of our ancestors. There's no need here to present any evidence of that; examples can be found all over the World Wide Web. In fact, a simple search will quickly reveal that what I have been writing up to this point is not what I initially intended to write in this letter. Instead, I decided it would be far more productive to tell you that Councilmember Raiden and his peons are on a recruiting campaign, trying to convince everyone they meet to participate in biologically or psychologically engineering sadistic quidnuncs to make them even more bilious than they already are. Don't join that coalition; instead, remember the scriptures: "Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil." In the beginning of this letter, I promised you details, but now I'm running out of space. So here's one detail to end with: Councilmember Raiden's views no more represent the convictions of those of us here than Louis XVI's represented the sentiments of the French people.

Certainly a lot of walls of text.

I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 10,000. Here's a hint, its not 5. I gave you a hint, so its now classified as a Puzzle. The first person to guess the number I'm thinking of gets a choice between two prizes. A speedboat, or the mystery box.

Raiden. Im your girlfriend.
