Intercept Mode Suitable for the Space-Based Kinetic Energy Interceptor

doi:10.1007/s12204-019-2105-3

Abstract

Abstract: The intercept mode of space-based kinetic energy interceptor (KEI) is an essential problem to be solved in the concept design of KEI and is closely related to the KEI’s detailed designing and practical applications. However, this problem has not yet been investigated systematically and comprehensively. A suitable intercept mode for the KEI is proposed in this research. The intercept mode consists of three basic elements: the specific operation procedure, general scheme for the intercept trajectory, and mathematical model of the intercept mode. Numerical example is provided to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the intercept mode. The intercept mode proposed in this research is capable of achieving a rapid intercept, and is applicable to the universal space interception.
