Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle (EKV) can refer to two related missile defense concepts: * Most common: the Raytheon-manufactured interceptor component with subcontractor Aerojet of the U.S. Ground-Based Midcourse Defense (GMD), part of the larger National Missile Defense system. * Any exoatmospheric (outside the atmosphere) kinetic kill interceptor. The Raytheon EKV is launched by the Ground Based Interceptor (GBI) missile, the launch vehicle of the Ground-Based Midcourse Defense System. The EKV's own rockets and fuel are for corrections in the trajectory, not for further acceleration.

  • Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle (EKV) can refer to two related missile defense concepts: * Most common: the Raytheon-manufactured interceptor component with subcontractor Aerojet of the U.S. Ground-Based Midcourse Defense (GMD), part of the larger National Missile Defense system. * Any exoatmospheric (outside the atmosphere) kinetic kill interceptor. The Raytheon EKV is launched by the Ground Based Interceptor (GBI) missile, the launch vehicle of the Ground-Based Midcourse Defense System. The EKV's own rockets and fuel are for corrections in the trajectory, not for further acceleration. An EKV is boosted to an intercept trajectory by a boost vehicle (missile), where it separates from the boost vehicle and autonomously collides with an incoming warhead. EKV devices appear in both ground and ship based missile defense systems.
