Aaron I am back with a question!

Aaron,

I have attempted a few intercepts without too much success. I have identified the following causes:

Problems:

(1) Inaccurate data collected.

(2) Early radar sets with limited range.

(3) On fast contacts with low powered radar a lot of time is lost laying to while working out a plot. If it was initially in motion on a rough vector, the chances of an intercept could be greatly increased.

How would I attempt to do a running intercept where I do not lay to for 15-30 minutes to gather two tuples of data? Thanks.

Read thru Lurker's Tactical manual on radar intercepts.

You're asking how to do a relative motion problem. MoBo has tools that simplify adding vectors together... There's more info in the manual.
