First step, can you detect an incoming missile? don't worry about finding where it came from yet.

Second, find the velocity of the incoming missile.

Third, use the velocity to calculate the trajectory it took to get to where it was detected.

Finally, find the origin point of the trajectory and send a missile there.


Potential problems:
  • hard to calculate the trajectory if the missile can change its velocity
  • to get exact source of the incoming missile, the system needs to know land height at that location
