This was the last scheduled launch under the current CKEM Advanced Technology Demonstration (ATD), and was conducted with the Aviation and Missile Research, Development, and Engineering Center.
CKEM’s ATD demonstrated a path forward for a smaller, lighter KE missile that can be integrated on to both current and future combat platforms and has the ability to fill current lethality gaps against enhanced reactive armor and active protective systems.

 Mechanized Propulsion Systems : Message Board - Lockheed Martin CKEM back in the news
If the CKEM is tube launched rather than rail launched like the JCM, it might be possible to set it up so that the tube affixes to the rail.
CKEM, along with the JCM, and NETFIRES are all similar in dimensions to existing HELLFIRE missiles- and all are from Lockheed Martin.
I dont think the CKEM pod would work on the Hellfire/JCM rail BUT you might be able to build a pod that would fit on the pylon and use Hellfire FCS wiring- however to cary a decent number of rounds it would be fairly bulbous.

 Lockheed Martin CKEM
The U.S. Army's CKEM (Compact Kinetic Energy Missile) program was begun in 1999, and is planned to result in a next-generation anti-armour missile using a hypersonic rod to kill its targets.
CKEM is essentially a follow-on program to the MGM-166 KEM (Kinetic Energy Missile) of the LOSAT (Line-of-Sight Anti-Tank) system.
The projected operational CKEM is expected to have at least an effective range of 400-8000 m (440-8750 yds), and the weapon system will be able to attack multiple targets within a few seconds.

 LOCKHEED MARTIN'S COMPACT KINETIC ENERGY MISSILE SUCCESSFUL IN FLIGHT TEST AGAINST ARMOR TARGET   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
This test demonstrated the efficacy of CKEM against a difficult target an up-armored tank at long range, said Loretta Painter, CKEM Advanced Technology Demonstration (ATD) program manager at the U.S. Army Research and Development Command (RDECOM), Aviation and Missile Research, Development, and Engineering Center (AMRDEC), Redstone Arsenal, AL.
Another successful CKEM test bodes well for our soldiers because it means we are well positioned in being able to develop this tremendously lethal, hit-to-kill technology, said Rick Edwards, vice president Tactical Missiles for Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control.
CKEM will expand the battlespace, provide increased mutual support and defeat all known threat countermeasures.

 Lockheed Martin Conducts Successful Compact Kinetic Energy Missile Test
"CKEM proved once again to be an overwhelmingly lethal and accurate system," said Reggie Grant, Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control's CKEM program director.
The CKEM missile uses hit-to-kill kinetic energy to destroy the target and does not have a classic ordinance-based warhead.
CKEM will have an extended range for direct fire, line-of-sight engagements and will provide the Infantry Brigade Combat Teams, STRYKER Brigades and Future Combat System (FCS) platforms overwhelming lethality overmatch against all potential target sets.

CKEM is being developed as the Army’s next-generation hypervelocity missile intended for deployment from lightweight, highly mobile manned and unmanned ground vehicles.
Our tests confirm that we have a CKEM design that packs an incredible degree of lethality in a small, lightweight airframe.
Although this test was conducted under a pre-existing technology development contract the Miltec – Northrop Grumman team was awarded a Basic Option of the CKEM Advanced Technology Demonstration (ATD) program in September 2003.

The CKEM features a RF uplink for existing and future communications and a dual-pulse, new propellant formula, minimum smoke solid rocket motor that delivers the “novel” kinetic lethality to ranges of 5 to 8 kilometers.
At the ranges that are possible, the CKEM is capable of delivering devastating destructive effects at sea level speeds of approximately Mach 6.
Emphasizing that follow-on program plans were still unofficial, he indicated that the CKEM team was working with the user community to explore the possibilities of extending the 36 month ATD an additional 18 months to allow the program to feed directly into fiscal year 2008 funding.

 Compact Kinetic Energy Missile (CKEM) - Iran Defence Forum
September 28, 2006 Things are progressing swimmingly for the Compact Kinetic Energy Missile (CKEM) following a successful guided test flight of its Compact Kinetic Energy Missile (CKEM) against a reinforced urban structure (RUS) recently at Eglin Air Force Base.
CKEM will provide an extended range kill capability that does not exist in currently fielded ground-to-ground anti-armor systems.
In addition to demonstrating CKEM's capability against a RUS, the test also gathered performance data about the missile's guidance system and collected thermal, shock and vibration effects data.

It enhances performance by as much as eight percent over current minimum signature propellants." Shroyer added, "The mechanical properties and producibility of this propellant are excellent." The second milestone demonstrated by the test was the ability of both the composite case and the nozzle assembly to withstand high internal pressures.
The program objective is to provide a lightweight, hypervelocity propulsion system capable of meeting the demanding requirements of the CKEM missile system.
ATK is a $2.2 billion aerospace and defense company with strong positions in propulsion, composite structures, munitions, precision capabilities, and civil and sporting ammunition.

Thus, the CKEM can be controlled effectively in hypersonic/supersonic flight without any control canards.
Hence, the merit of the body-flexure PZT control CKEM design lies in its being a simpler system but with reduced weight and enhanced maneuverability.
While maintaining stability, the CKEM smart-actuation control forces and moments can be amplified by the aeroelastic effects of an optimum aeroelastically-tailored composite structure using ASTROS* optimization.
