SNIP

We found that a flyup rather than a snapup was more
successful. In addition we used super-elevation, keeping the steering
dot below dead center of the scope, so that the missile would
approximate a zero-G trajectory. The real-life problem would be
getting into a 180 intercept and M2+ far enough out in front to climb
on up to launch position. Here is where a fan of converging
interceptors would maximize Pk. (Doctrine would be to launch
everything - all the missiles - radars and all-aspect IRs.)

Works as long as launch altitude is below AIM-7 threshold for autopilot high
gain.
