1. Technical Field of the Invention
The invention is in the field of kinetic anti-projectile interceptor vehicles.
2. Description of the Related Art
Interceptors have been proposed to intercept and disable or destroy space-based or space-entering projectiles, for example ballistic projectiles such as intercontinental ballistic missiles. Such projectiles travel at very high rates of speed and have short travel times, making interception of them a difficult problem, one in which there is room for further improvements.
