  EKV - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An orbiting vehicle is designed to detect and intercept ballistic missiles, which are destroyed in a "hit to kill" collision with the EKV.
EKV devices have also been adapted for use with missile platforms.
An EKV is boosted to an intercept trajectory where it separates from the boost vehicle and autonomously collides with an incoming warhead.

 eMedicine - Erythrokeratodermia Variabilis : Article by Gabriele Richard, MD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Pathophysiology: EKV is a disorder of cornification associated with noninflammatory erythema.
EKV is genetically heterogeneous and caused by mutations in different genes.
The considerable phenotypic variability of PSEK and EKV and the observation of both phenotypes in one family raised the question of whether PSEK and EKV are distinct entities or entities within the spectrum of a single disorder.

 DoD News: Missile Intercept Test Successful
In addition to the EKV locating, tracking, and intercepting the target resulting in its destruction using only the body-to-body impact, this test also demonstrated the ability of system elements to work together as an integrated system.
Sensors aboard the EKV also successfully selected the target instead of a large balloon, which functioned as a decoy.
Tonight's test is part of a robust and on-going testing program that is a layered approach to defense, using different missile architectures to deter the growing threat of ballistic missiles and other weapons of mass destruction.

 A Modified EKV Model for Circuit Simulation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
A EKV model uses a linear combination of two logarithmic functions to interpolate between two regions of operation to generate a single-piece model which allows continuous derivatives with respect to the external bias voltages.
However, the original EKV model does not have the required precision compared to the simplified, symmetrical two-piece model, which is commonly used in SPICE.
The initiative of an EKV model is not to improve the accuracy but to be able to collapse the simple model discussed above into a single-piece which has a continuous derivative with each of the externally applied bias voltage, and most important of all, it describes the moderate inversion.

 Star Wars Test Platforms: Ground Based Interceptor (GBI) and Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle (EKV)
Specifically, an EKV will be developed and flight-tested for the NMD interceptor system which can accomplish intercepts of high-speed, long-range Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) reentry vehicles (RVs) in the midcourse of their trajectories.
The ekv contains the on-board optical seeker, data processing, guidance and divert propulsion required to intercept long-range ballistic missile RVs in the mid-course portion of the their flight trajectories.
Target destruction is accomplished by direct impact of the ekv and the resulting transfer of its kinetic energy to the RV target (hit-to-kill).

 Arms Control Association: Arms Control Today: National Missile Defense Review Committee Report Text of the "Welch ...
The EKV program is unable to support important development activity, such as improving the test capability of the facility at Arnold Engineering Development Center (AEDC), since the flight test article had to be returned quickly to Tucson to meet schedules.
One of the highest EKV risk areas is its ability to withstand the environmental loads of the new booster that will fly on IFT-7 This chart [not shown] shows that the expected shock loads are over an order of magnitude greater than those imparted from the PLV [payload launch vehicle].
We are not certain that the EKV will be able to withstand these loads, and we will not know with any degree of certainty until IFT-13, the flight on which the EKV and new booster are first mated together.

 Arms Control Association: Arms Control Today: Missile Defense Interceptor Hits Target, But Not All Perfect in Test
Data from the transponder was used to formulate the initial intercept plan for launching the booster and EKV because there is no radar available in the test range to track the target early in its flight.
After arriving in the approximate area where the intercept was to take place, the EKV used its onboard infrared and visual sensors to seek out the target and discriminate between the target and decoy.
The EKV was preprogrammed with information on both objects, including data that the target would be less bright than the decoy.

 MissileThreat :: Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle (EKV)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Once operational, the EKV will be a critical part of the Missile Defense Agency’s Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) system, scheduled for deployment in September 2004.
As the EKV closes in on its target, the combined velocity of the kill vehicle and the incoming missile will approach 15,000 miles per hour (four miles per second, or five times the speed of a bullet), leaving little room for last minute maneuvers.
In the event of a precise hit, the kinetic energy of the EKV and the missile will pulverize the warhead and destroy any nuclear, chemical, or biological agents it might be carrying.

 eMedicine - Erythrokeratodermia Variabilis : Article Excerpt by: Gabriele Richard, MD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
The finding of mutations in GJB3 and GJB4 suggests that the clinical manifestations of EKV are caused by impaired gap junctional intercellular communication due to a defect in gap junctions.
Mortality/Morbidity: EKV is a chronic skin disorder without other organ manifestations; patients have a normal life expectancy.
Depending on the extent and severity of EKV, the skin lesions can be severely disfiguring and have a tremendous psychosocial effect on the patients.

 Ground-Based Midcourse Intercept Flight Test History - CDI
Element test of the EKV, not an end-to-end system test, which relied on a surrogate booster vehicle and range assets to define the “deployment basket” and deliver the EKV to that location.
The EKV called upon its “step-stare” capabilities (which are used only during off-nominal circumstances) to extend its field of view since the target was not where anticipated.
The failure to intercept is the direct result of the EKV not separating from the surrogate booster due to an apparent failure in the 1553 data bus in the booster.

 Washingtonpost.com: Missile Shield Still Drawing Friends, Fire
So the EKV aimed itself instead at a decoy balloon meant to simulate the kind of measures an enemy might toss up to confuse U.S. interceptors.
Discrimination — that is, getting the EKV to distinguish a warhead from decoys and chaff thrown up to sow confusion — has posed the last major technological stumbling block to the limited missile defense system that the Clinton administration has in mind.
To guard against this possibility, EKVs are being hardened with tungsten, and their electronic systems rigged to shut down momentarily in the event of a blast.

This "tip of the sword" as Raytheon, the US defence contractor, characterises it is intended to punch incoming ballistic missiles out of their orbit at the outer edge of the earth's atmosphere.
Charles La Due, EKV program manager at Raytheon's plant in Tucson, Arizona, illustrates the challenge involved in arranging a collision between two objects each travelling at incomprehensible speeds.
Not so the EKV processors: "The approach we have taken is that they have to work after a nuclear warhead has detonated in space, so we have a way of switching them off during a nuclear explosion."

 Letter from Ted Postol to John Podesta on BMDO Testing Claims
The EKV sees both decoys and warheads as unresolved points of light, and it attempts to find warheads by examining how each point of light fluctuates in time.
Data that demonstrated that the EKV would always mistake a partially inflated balloon for the mock lethal object was inexplicably removed from the post-flight analysis of the EKV’s performance.
After this data was removed, the data from the eight other remaining benign objects and the lethal mock warhead showed that the system would still mistakenly choose two of the benign objects instead of the lethal object.

 Government Fraud and False Project/Technologies
Boster authorized false flight tests of the EKV project, and removed from the attacking scenarios deployed lethal objects that he became aware that the BOEING/TRW/NRC technologies will not discriminate, while reporting to his superiors of no problems.
Both companies were awarded nine billion dollars as a price for their "crime" and "covering up" as Special Agent Reed of DCIS reported on 1999 (enclosed) and was forced to retire, and the Government Officials harassed and retaliated against SCHWARTZ, and declined intervention in her case based on lies.
The EKV will not destroy/intercept with an object that has an "xxx" (classified shape that the enemy use), or a "yyy" (classified shape that the enemy use) or posses zzz motion, that the enemy missiles deployed objects have, or have the enemy deployed mechanism, in a kinetic impact.

 GAO: Summary
In late 1998--after 8 years of funding and administering parallel research an development contracts for an EKV for National Missile Defense and 2 months prior to the scheduled completion of the competition--BMDO abandoned its planned competition to select the most promising EKV for use in follow-on missile defense programs.
This decision was made shortly after Boeing disclosed to the government that employees of its EKV team had obtained and misused proprietary information developed by the other EKV competitor, Raytheon.
Our review has not located any document memorializing the selection of Raytheon to build the EKV, and both BMDO and Boeing have advised us that no such document was created or exists.
