Intercept Geometry – Part XI: A brief look at the past (50s/60s)
The last step of the Intercept Geometry journey through the past: the 50s and 60s, when GCI dominated, and the first air intercept radars started appearing.

Intercept Geometry – Part XIII: In-Depth Timeline (continuation: FOX 3/1/2)
The final part of the “core” of this study proposes the continuation of the Timeline discussed in Part XII using the concepts described in the older part of the public documentation. FOX 3/1/2 means a FOX-3 launch, succeeded by a FOX-1, and closed by a stern conversion enabling VID and a FOX-2 shot.
Intercept Geometry – Part XII: In-Depth Timeline (from “Picture” to “Crank”)
Compared to the Simplified Timeline, this overview poses a much greater emphasis on understanding and manipulating the geometry, maximise PK and improving the Situational Awareness.
Due to the length of the discussion, this Part of the study covers from the initial phases of the Timeline, down to the post-employment. There are various possible next steps after this: for example, launch-and-leave, or press for a FOX-1 employment. Part XIII will discuss one of the options.
Intercept Geometry – Part X: Fleet Conversions p2 & Advanced Intercepts [P-825/02]
This article concludes the overview of the P-825 in use 19 years ago, featuring the second and last part of the discussion about the Fleet Conversion Procedures and the Advanced Intercepts, with the first introduction to the intercept of a non-cooperative (id est jinking) bogey.
Intercept Geometry – Part IX: “Unknown Procedures” & Fleet Conversions p1 [P-825/02]
Another series of concepts from the second half of the P-825/02 are discussed, including the so-called “Unknown Procedures”, Fleet Conversions and the Advanced Intercepts.
Due to the length of the discussion, “Unknown Procedures” and the first part of the Fleet Conversions are covered in this article. The second part of the Fleet Conversions and the Advanced Intercepts are topics of the next chapter of this series (Part X).
Intercept Geometry – Part VIII: Intercept Progression & Lead Collision [P-825/02]
The second half of the P-825/02 covers a variety of advanced procedures and techniques. Discussing all of them will be way too long, so this article and the next are a brief overview of a limited set of those concepts. In particular, this article covers the Intercept Progression and the Lead Collision.
