Missile defense multiple kill vehicle hover test 

This video popped up in my recommended 13 years later… in the time of a near nuclear war. I Hope they’ve perfected this technology… and I also hope there is currently 3million of them hovering in space over Russia, North Korea, and any other country that has a serious issue lmao…

Back in the day we just said MIRVs.

@@i.l6916 they don't "hover over" anything. You strap them to the top of a ABM (anti-ballistic missile) missile, like you do with any nuke/MIRV and you YEET it into space. The kill vehicle (what's shown in this video) is released from the rocket (picture any rocket releasing any payload that you've seen, NASA, SpacX, etc) and then uses those trusters to make sure it can physically rub itself into a MIRV or single re-entry vehicle (nuclear warhead). Mind you, doing all of this many miles above the earth and at mind melting speeds. It's pretty much shooting and intercepting a bullet with another bullet.

@@i.l6916 i hope they are hovering over USA - the real antagonist

@@wien1563 love you champ 😘 you sleep tight ok?

Fart sound machine

I see literally no jokes

Hurling through space making those adjustments to essentially shoot a bullet with a bullet. If people are making jokes I thinks it's because they don't realize where this kill vehicle would be operating, what it's expected to do and how it's expected to do it. ABM kinetic kill vehicle defense is hard to visualize mentally if your first exposure to any of this is just this video.

Yeah the cynicism of humanity can be disconcerting at times. Yes.

This was 13 years ago too! With how far aviation has come in the last 4 years, I am terrified to see what’s become of this.

NEY Industries bruh how about smartphones, computers, cars, etc

@@NerdyNEET What about the car motorbike industry. Just the development of cleaner running engines in the last 12 years is quite a lot.

@@NerdyNEET What abot the catalitic converter. Electric cars. Impact protection air bags sat nav. We get it you dont like fuel injection.

@@NerdyNEET None of that was commercially available then. Or was any of it in cars. Are you a women ?

@@NerdyNEET Nothing has changed since 2008. Yes it has i work in that industry. A lot has changed. I take it you are a women.

That is fast for a human, but for a machine that is not fast. Every correction thrust comes only few times a second since you can sense individual kicks. For example in drones (which could be a good comparison here), a new throttle input value for a motor is calculated 4000-30 000 times a second. If that 30k rate would make a blip every time it updates the motors state, the sound resulting would be 10k over the human hearing range. And the drone cpu:s are very slow when compared to cpus we use in our devices. Youre totally right, but everything is very subjective 😅 I think the real appeal comes from those awesome rocket thrusters! 💪

@@taneliharkonen2463 The real issue with that is that these rocket motors are controlled by solenoid valves in the propellant feed lines, which have a fixed frequency beyond which they will fail to respond. These kind of valves are either "On" or "Off", there is no in-between. And then the thrusters themselves have their own "reaction time" since there's a set time that they take to start up, reach stable operation, and then shut down again. All this means that there's a certain "granularity" to the degree of control you can execute over this vehicle. Basically, the computer's probably calculating if it should fire the motor several hundred thousand times a second, but because the control mechanisms won't respond that quickly that doesn't translate into what you see and hear in this test.

@@44R0Ndin yes ofcource, physical systems have their own limitations. I was just talking about the reaction time that OP was talking about. I dont know this system and its physical limitations, and I'm sure theyre done a very good job. It was jist that a "boxing" related guy admiring fast visible response time when it clearly is not that fast when just regarding the response time 😅 But hey thanks thats more specific! :D cool! 💪

Lorewise, Skynet limits its machines out of fear they will rebel. Otherwise they are capable of reacting super fast. You can see great examples with the HK turrets. Movie-wise, when they start acting crazy fast, you get Rev-9s from Dark Fate. It breaks the audiences' suspension of disbelief because there's no way humanity would survive against ubermicro, super fast machines like Rev-9s.

Good guess. But I highly doubt that. Seeing how it's a fully enclosed facility. Other things fume too.

@@AndToTheRepublic4WhichItStands ive heard the exhaust from the 2 hyperbolic fuels isnt that bad if you get close to a stoichiometric reaction. I think its like water vapor and nitrogen gas

@@AndToTheRepublic4WhichItStands No other rocket propellant I've ever heard of fumes brown like that.

I'd have to say these are correction blasts to keep it stable, not "leaks". A leak would be catastrophic.

@@kylearmenta7138 There's both. The high pressure pulses are obvious, and the low pressure brown nitrogen tetroxide leaks are less obvious but visible. The leaks by the way are inside the thrusters, I should clarify. If there was zero leakage we would see no brown gas because it would have all combusted already.

keep watching then, kid.

If you contact me, I'll tell you all about an ~identical predecessor (incl ~identical flight). I lead/did its control system.

Why is this your favorite video?

@@WaldoTheWombat the amount of control is just incredible and it’s cool to see where technology is at

It's not a gun, it itself is a weapon. It just smashes into stuff at high speed/accuracy in space.

It's a kinetic kill vehicle. It uses those trusters to get into the ballistic path of a nuclear warhead re-entry vehicle and runs itself into it. "Kinetic" "kill". No guns or bullets here. though q good way to grasp the concept is pretty much shooting a bullet with another bullet.

Remember the UFOs from about a year ago? :D

The secret of the iron dome👀🤯

Was thinking the same

Came here cuz of that lmao

@@dillonbledsoe7680 lol that's scary that it's real.

love that movie for that

@leaf cover : Very good pun usage there.

What the hell did you feed her man

exactly, i remember back in 2011 where i just placed barrels and spammed it with thrusters and watched it gracefully (not really) fly across the sky

No

Hey steve

i tried making one in gmod. it didnt work.

@@StarHorder Incredibly late I know, but this could probably be done with Advanced Wiremod

Dinitrogen tetroxide

So this is 30 yo tech, imagine where all those "unknown" objects are comming from nowadays. Especially last few weeks, good to know they work, would love to know what they are taking out though!

Great cause to down enemy weapons. Thank you for what you did!

@@AldoSchmedack Thanks, it was all great fun to be part of it all.

Super cool. I have a great story to go with this... I saw this in 1992 as a child. It was on a blank vhs tape at my friends house. We were looking for porn vhs (1991 don't forget) in the movie cabinet. We found this. His father worked for Rocketdyne and Darpa. It was literally this video and a couple of other clips. No joke.

How do u work on these things, what is your college major if u dont mind me asking

Thanks for the explanation

This machine is moving at around 22000 mph when it is released from a sm-3 or trident missile. It is cooking and on its way.

I did both? Lmao

Curious droid viewer?

@@chunguslover Honestly, At this point, I don't remember what I watched to get here, it may have been, but I have it in my recommended bar right now, doesn't say I've viewed it(though, it says that about a few video's I know I've watched, too) but it could have just as likely been a random TV Documentary

Omg sir u are damn right

agreed! BATTLEFEILD "no screaming kids guaranteed" lol

John Doe ugh I have found little kids in battlefield 4 but there not as bad as the ones in cod

thats true, honestly, cod kids r the worst tho, at 20 i felt like i played with 6 year olds all the time

Yea I'm 13 but I'm not a squeaker because i hit puberty when I was like 8 so yea i was playing battlefield with a 5 year old and called me a noob when he levelled up to level 2 (I was like 47) lol so i said check my rank and then he did the he said i wast my life playing the game witch i don't ( I only had the game for 2 months) and i laughed so hard i cryed and I could bearly breath thats how hard I was laughing

Not conspiracy theory but they had this in 1999, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LC97wdQOmfI.html they must have gotten farther along in tech, the progress in tech from 1999 to 2008 for algorithms etc was huge! The one from 1999 is more compact then this one aswell. Like I think the 2008 demo is not as far as they have gotten.

Thank you i thought technology was things of fiction or the devil.

just a gun shooting guns in all directions. i like it.

@@racabon Don't forget the Navy leaks of craft with this behavior tracked by F18.

imagine the unclassified things they are working on now, I can only imagine the amount of tech that is being developed to deter nukes after Russia and China's threats

I had a chance to watch a declassified video from the MDA back in 2007 at Photonics West. The guy working at the booth said, " Star wars was working and in operation in the '70s before Reagan ever uttered the word Star wars" I was watching videos of Hueys flown as remote control drones and being shot down with lasers from 45 years ago.

I saw this in 1992 as a child. It was on a blank vhs tape at my friends house. We were looking for porn vhs (1991 don't forget) in the movie cabinet. We found this. His father worked for Rocketdyne and Darpa. It was literally this video and a couple of other clips. No joke.

@@SeriesCX 😊👍

There is also a video of a Russian dagger missile killing a patriot missile defence system in Ukraine in 2023. Seems like they made no progress since 2008

This has no shared traits to what they saw.

Warhead destroyer

How can u tell they are RCS?

@@Xultra700 RCS are thrusters that manoeuvre spacecraft. This video is of spacecraft thrusters.

Booo

@@TheGoonSquadd sugoma

@@TheGoonSquadd bring me your daughter

....

Lol!!! Who here didn't know that !!!

what, rcs? that's special to you?

It shoots flames ,its from the little rockets attached to it If the ground blows it up,how is it gonna destroy missiles?

by "flying" into them.

it shoots bullets....

the bullets are happy to leave

Philip Nzw The MKV is designed for extended duration in low-earth orbit. Its primary targets are ICBMs, which achieve low earth orbit when on trajectories to their targets. The vehicle's thrusters are designed with low gravity in mind, this is not a tropospheric or even stratospheric device.

There are new videos about a prototype in South Korea.

yup. and sad.

Totally, this is nightmare fuel

@@bloopy6166 its made to save your life tho

Sounds like a Bridgeported 13B Rotary. XD

@@gemizu4874 accurate

@@gemizu4874 lol to both of these

PC ksp is the only way to fly..The stock game is great but the modding community is one of the best out there..I think I’m running 80 mods, anywhere from extra parts to realistic exhaust plumes in lowering pressures and in vacuum.

missle defense actually, so like a hovering MPS tht will block even bigger and is upgraded

TheLegendaryGamer How do you know what it does already? The dlc didn't come out.

thefinalJoemama9999 Because of what it does in real life.

thefinalJoemama9999 And I got my ways of being a member for the E and the A... ;3

But not fully

Fuckin' Geneva covention.

They didnt, this is the technology used today in missile interception, such as the iron dome.

It's in the fleet now.

Yes any kind (nuke theory) but it may be powerful to block AA's or stealth jets Active radar

Some people feel DICE may implement a nuclear weapon of some sort into Final Stand DLC. This does support that theory in that Lockheed did develop this MKV to shoot ICBMs out of the sky along with the multiple warheads they carry, so who knows we will just have to wait and see. hopefully they add a few more clues in the Dragons Teeth DLC for us to investigate!

Who knows, when stuff is messy they create breadcrumbs and even more breadcrumbs create even smaller and tiny breadcrumbs until there is nothing yet not saying anything just what you need to watch out for

And what about Ballistic missiles, or cruise missiles ehhh? Cruise missiles we got some where.... battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/user/thecallrocks123/

That is me :)

missile defense hmmm... maybe defending nuclear missiles. bf4 final stand

It's powered by solid rocket fuel burning. Same as Space Shuttle rocket boosters (long white thingys)

@@mock15halo it's believed military always advancing us 30-50 years, probably in the present they have skynet type ai but you'll see them 30 years from now

@@isaiahphillip4112 50 might be a little high but the US military is definitely, easily, a decade or two ahead of civilian tech. Just look up the kind of technology that the military had before we did.

not me because I already knew what it was when I watched the trailer lol :P

Yep

I arrived from a jackfrags like.. That's some serious Skynet stuff there ... and it's 6 years old now ! :O LoL

lol this is literally what is used for missile defense, right now.
