Todays store separation analysis is more and more confronted to marginal clearance situations due to increasing requirements imposed by the aircraft operators. In fact, that an advanced missile has to be perfectly released during arbitrary aircraft manoeuvers and variable installations affords the accurate knowledge of the missile's motion during tip-off. The engineering task is therefore no longer focused exclusively on the analysis of safety aspects of separation, but is now to be extended on the consideration of compatibility between operator's requirements to allow any strength of release disturbances and the missile control system to overcome such situations.
