In this work, it is shown a method to build a type of kinetic projectile, which can reach relativistic velocities (≲300,000 km/h), with specific kinetic energy of ~10 Megatons/kg. This type of projectile can be very useful in a defense system that launches kinetic projectiles from Earth orbit to asteroids, meteoroids or comets in collision route with Earth.
