Hit to Kill What is Hit-to-Kill?
• “Hit to Kill” refers to destroying a threat missile with body
to body impact by the interceptor – High energy impact destroys Chemical, Nuclear, and Biological
Weapons at a safe altitude
• Prior to Hit-To-Kill, the tradition for air defense, was to try to get close enough for blast fragmentation affect
• Our accurate millimeter wave seeker increases lethality – Far more energy on the threat – Requires an extremely agile airframe
