Abstract
A counter-flying object system that includes a sensor array including an active sensor for detecting and tracking the flying object. An interceptor missile launcher for launching an interceptor to intercept the flying object, wherein upon launching of the interceptor, the sensor array determines the location of the interceptor and sends the object's and interceptor's locations to a control system. The control system provides mission data to the interceptor based on the object's and interceptor's locations for guiding the interceptor toward the flying object and activating a fragmentation warhead on or in the vicinity of the flying object when a lethality criteria is met.
