Abstract
The present invention is a method of interception. When a missile is launched and detected by a satellite, an anti-missile rocket is launched to intercept it. When the anti-missile rocket nears the point of interception, it goes into a turn of about 180 degrees, to reverse its course, and comes in behind the enemy missile, at a speed almost equal to that of the ICBM. In this maneuver, coming in behind the ICBM, it reduces the relative speed of the two rockets from about 13,000 mph to about 50 mph, and allows the interceptor missile to approach the ICBM at a slow speed and easily destroy it.
Claims9
A process of interception between a first flying device and a second flying device comprising the steps of:
- detecting the trajectory of the first flying device;
- initiating the flight of the second flying device, wherein the second flying device is sent on a trajectory of generally intercepting the first flying device;
- separating from the second flying device guided elements upon the second flying device passing the first flying device, wherein the second flying device does not intercept the first flying device, and wherein the guided elements are sent on a trajectory approximately opposite the trajectory of the second flying device, and on a trajectory approximately the same as the trajectory of the first flying device;
- and
- intercepting the first flying device with at least one guided element;
- wherein the first flying device is an ICBM.
A process of missile in interception, where an enemy incoming missile is detected and an interceptor missile is launched to meet it and to destroy it, wherein
- as the interceptor missile passes the enemy missile,
- the interceptor missile separates and shoots a number of small rocket driven missiles straight back along the trajectory of the enemy missiles, so that
- the relative speed of the small rocket driven missiles and the enemy missiles is now the difference in their total speeds, and
- not the sum of their total speeds as with the frontal approach, and
- this allows the small missiles to maneuver easily into position to destroy the enemy missile.
