Methods and apparatuses for aerial interception of aerial threats

This invention describes a small, self-guided missile launched from an aircraft to shoot down incoming aerial threats. The missile uses small thrusters to quickly point itself at the target, then a rocket motor to accelerate, and more thrusters to steer and maintain its orientation as it flies to intercept. The claims specifically detail the design of this interceptor missile, focusing on its various thrusters and rocket motor.
