A method for guiding an intercept vehicle to intercept a ballistic target includes conceptual setup of a line-of-sight (LOS) extending between the vehicles. The interceptor is accelerated in a direction perpendicular to the LOS until its velocity in that direction equals that of the target. At this time, the thrust of the interceptor accelerates it along the line-of-sight, thereby guaranteeing an intercept.
