A Kinetic Energy Weapon (KEW) is a specialized device that can fire some projectile towards Earth. The projectile gains destructive power through kinetic energy simply by falling at a high velocity. These projectiles can be as basic as metal rods, or as advanced as MIRVs.

- A kinetic energy weapon was a weapon designed to bombard a surface with an inert projectile, with the destructive force coming from the kinetic energy of the high velocity impact. During the Lunar Revolt, the rebels used the Heinlein Maneuver, which involved dropping rocks into Earth's atmosphere. (HH8) The Solarian League military used kinetic bombardments to subdue rebellions on protectorate worlds. The Royal Manticoran Navy used the Mark 87 "Damocles" Kinetic Strike Package, a containerized long-range weapon system equipped with up to six Marine Corps issue M412 kinetic penetrators. (HH14)
