It is demonstrated that for certain weapon stations on modern fighter aircraft the roll disturbance induced by interference effects is a quite sensitive area as far as risk of collision and or roll sensor limitations are concerned. Based on the experience gathered on the field of passive and active control for missiles, the concept of a typical separation autopilot is discussed in detail and highlighted by some results. Safe separation of missiles from fighter aircraft is concluded to still be restricted to a smaller envelope. The use of autopilots in the missiles with combined roll and pitch authority is concluded to greatly improve separation behavior.
