Multiple Kill Vehicle Test Successful

This is wicked looking. Congrats to Lockheed Space Systems Company:
In the event of an enemy missile launch, a carrier vehicle would be fired into space to unleash hordes of the weapons, which would then lock on to their targets and destroy them.
A video released by the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) shows the MKV-L being tested the device at the National Hover Test Facility at Edwards Air Force Base, in California.
It shows the gadget hovering and shifting from left to right under the power of tiny rockets as it mimics how it would track a missile.
