This study proposes a multi-interceptor deployment strategy against high-speed maneuvering targets in atmospheric flight, leveraging predictive footprint analysis to optimize defensive coverage. An analytical model is developed to determine interceptor footprints based on maneuverability constraints and curve-fitting techniques, allowing rapid generation of engagement boundaries from specified launch points and predicted impact locations. By integrating this model with target footprint prediction, the interception problem is reformulated as a coverage optimization problem. A dedicated algorithm is designed to compute minimal-interceptor deployments that maximize coverage of the
target’s potential trajectories. Numerical simulations demonstrate the method’s ability to achieve effective interception with reduced resource allocation, confirming its operational feasibility against high-speed maneuvering threats.
