Abstract
A method for obtaining a sky view of a battle site, comprising launching an interceptor (2) towards at least one detected flying threat (3); the interceptor (2) tracking the threat (3) using at least one remote sensor for achieving a kill of the threat (3) at a designated kill site (4) being at a large range from the at least one sensor; when the interceptor (2) approaches the kill site (4), releasing from the interceptor (2) at least one detachable vehicle (7) that includes at least one local sensor (8) for sensing the kill site (4) from a range considerably shorter than the large range and communicating the sensed data.
