There is an online supposed science and reality based publication called "TechnoRhythms: Market intelligence updates to keep you in the know". Recently they posted an article titled "NASA Capable of Nuking Killer Asteroid with ‘Hammer’ that included the following statement.

Mallet remains for Hypervelocity Asteroid Mitigation Mission for Emergency Response, which is an amazing name all individually. Sledge’s an idea right now, yet in the event that fabricated, it would be a 30-foot-tall (9 meters), 8.8-ton shuttle that could go about as either a space rock battering ram or as a conveyance vehicle for an atomic gadget. We should call it the prod or nuke choice. Bennu is a brute, as per the national lab. It is over 1,664 times as overwhelming as the Titanic and ranges in excess of five football fields in breadth. In the event that it hit Earth, the effect would release around 80,000 times the vitality of the nuclear bomb utilized on Hiroshima the World War II in 1945. It would wreck. Sledge is intended to dispatch utilizing NASA’s Delta IV Heavy rocket. Analysts at Lawrence Livermore distributed a paper in the diary Acta Astronautica in February that assesses the choices for utilizing the shuttle to effectively urge Bennu to divert from Earth.
In their About Us page they post:

Now while that might well be true what they post instead comes across as either chuunibyou (second year middle school syndrome) or machine translations that are never proof read by a native English speaking editor.
Looking at the other articles at the site shows the same pattern.
My money is on chuunibyou.

Probable machine translation. The clincher is the use of 'diary' for 'journal'.
The primary contributors also seem to be Indian, and even fluent Indian English speakers use phraseology that can sound odd to a British or American ear. Just read the Times of India.

The biggest clue is the first sentence quoted:
quote:
Mallet remains for Hypervelocity Asteroid Mitigation Mission for Emergency Response,
It should be "HAMMER stands for "Hypervelocity Asteroid Mitigation Mission for Emergency Response"".
