Kinetic detonator

A kinetic detonator was a type of detonator used by the Cardassians in certain large explosives. The technology was considered antiquated by the 2370s. Nevertheless, the Cardassians used a kinetic detonator when they constructed the automated missile that would later be known as . When the missile was sent to attack the Maquis munitions depot on Alpha 441, the detonator failed to function properly; rather than exploding, the missile bounced off the atmosphere and drifted into orbit, where the Maquis managed to capture it.
