| − | The '''Multiple Kill Vehicle''' ('''MKV''') was a planned US kinetic energy-based warhead that was designed to intercept and destroy multiple ballistic missiles, including possible decoy targets. During an actual hostile ballistic missile attack, the carrier vehicle with its cargo of small kill vehicles would have maneuvered into the path of an enemy missile. Using tracking data from the Ballistic Missile Defense System and its own seeker, the carrier vehicle would have dispensed and guided the kill vehicles to destroy any warheads or countermeasures. In April 2009, the Pentagon's budget was announced to be reshaped, effectively terminating the MKV program. |

"An experimental combat drone. Use to spot and engage light targets from the air. This device will self-destruct when it runs out of fuel to prevent recovery by the enemy."
— In-game description
The XD-1 Accipiter is a Battle Pickup featured in Battlefield 4: Final Stand. The XD-1 is a small experimental combat drone equipped with a rotary cannon, capable of flight and hover via rocket thruster ports placed across its body.
The XD-1 flies similarly to the MAV, able to hover and rapidly decelerate. Similar to the SUAV, the XD-1 has a limited fuel time. Once the fuel is used up, the XD-1 will self-destruct.
However, operators of the XD-1 can avoid its self-destruction by flying it back then picking up it again to recharge the fuel.
The XD-1 is equipped with a rotary cannon.
Like the SUAV and MAV, it is capable of Roadkilling targets. It can be locked onto with anti-air missiles, such as Stinger missiles or Heat Seekers.
