Some kinetic weapons for targeting objects in spaceflight are anti-satellite weapons and anti-ballistic missiles. Since they need to attain a high velocity anyway, they can destroy their target with their released kinetic energy alone; high explosive is not strictly necessary. Compare the energy of TNT, 4.6 MJ/kg, to the energy of a kinetic kill vehicle with a closing speed of 10 km/s, which is 50 MJ/kg. This saves costly weight and there is no detonation to be done at the right time, but on the other hand it requires a more accurate hit.
With regard to anti-missile weapons, the Arrow missile and MIM-104 Patriot have explosives, but of the KEI, LEAP, and THAAD being developed, none has (see Missile Defense Agency).
x 1000, mutta pakko oli kysyä. Jospa joku tietäisi.
