Default Re: OT: Looking for a good physics site

Here's a doc on missile maneuvers that seems relevant:
Proportional Navigation Against Time-Varying Target Maneuvers (pdf). It's rocket science. It's better than predecessors, but does contain a simplifying assumption: "The autopilot and seeker response is assumed to be instantaneous and the missile angle of attack is assumed to be negligibly small."

Also may be worth looking into Augmented Proportional Navigation.
