So you can build missiles that fly extremely quickly to a part of the sky where the target is no longer occupying?

- ARandomerDude 4y agoOr at the ground and hit the wrong target, potentially with very bad consequences.
- killjoywashere 4y ago@edenceover is probably referring mainly to the boost-glide vehicles that are moving at up to mach 20 ... through atmosphere. The air-breathing cruise missile type designs go slower (only mach 6-ish) but at that speed you can have a sane discussion about guidance. This rocket-guidance problem, by the way, is where the Black-Scholes model came from.
- govg 4y agoDo you mean Ito's Lemma? As far as I know, Black-Scholes itself had nothing to do with rocket guidance.
- killjoywashere 4y agoyes, thanks.
