Miniature Hit-to-Kill Missile

The Miniature Hit-to-Kill Missile is a small air defense missile developed by Lockheed Martin for the short range air defense and Counter Rocket, Artillery, and Mortar. Like the Israeli Tamir and Stunner the MHTK uses hit-to-kill for the terminal phase of interception.

Origins

The MHTK was first tested by the US Army in April 2016 as part of an engineering demonstration for the Indirect Fire Protection Capability Increment 2-Intercept program.

Development

Development began in 2012. In 2018 the US Army awarded Lockheed Martin US$2.6 million to begin formal development of the missile as part of the Extended Mission Area Missile program.

Variants

Both active and semi-active radar homing versions have been developed, as of 2018 they share a common configuration.
