Abstract
This paper summarizes several key issues of importance related to intercept of high-speed maneuvering targets under stratospheric altitude conditions, where it is unlikely that the interceptor will have a significant speed and/or maneuverability advantage. It explains why one cannot rely on traditional proportional navigation guidance and presents simulation results for a recently developed finite time method of guidance. A simplified version of finite time intercept guidance is derived, and a modification required to allow it to be practically implemented is described. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the advantages of the simplified version.
