A method for guiding an intercept vehicle to intercept a ballistic target includes conceptual setup of a line-of-sight (LOS) extending between the vehicles. The interceptor is accelerated in a direction perpendicular to the LOS until its velocity in that direction equals that of the target. At this time, the thrust of the interceptor accelerates it along the line-of-sight, thereby guaranteeing an intercept.

An improved firearm support is disclosed, comprising a base assembly and a harness secured thereto which is worn by a user to secure said base assembly firmly adjacent to the user's chest. A plurality of support pins protrude outward from the base assembly for receiving and supporting a weapon thereupon. Typically, a weapon having a barrel area and a trigger guard is supported upon the support pins by resting the barrel area of the weapon upon a first support pin and resting the trigger guard of said weapon upon a second support pin. A detachable fastening strap extends from an edge of the base assembly, around the supported weapon, and engages the base assembly on the other side of said weapon, cinching the weapon against the base assembly and holding it firmly thereat, providing the user with hands-free support and permitting said user to move about in an unencumbered manner. Actuation of a trigger located upon the base assembly allows the user to silently disengage the fastening strap and bring the firearm to a ready-to-use position. A safety lock prevents accidental releases of the firearm from the support pins.
