Warm and Fuzzy: Multiple Kill Vehicle

This link will take you to a video of a test of a "multiple kill vehicle."

Sound like something from The Matrix? You bet!

A bunch of these will be launched in a carrier vehicle straight into the path of an incoming ballistic missile. When it reaches some predetermined point, the carrier will release a bunch of these nasties and they will be guided in to intercept all the anti-nasties released by the missile, detonating them in flight.

Wow - all those ideas in sci-fi books I read as a kid are coming true...
