Variable-speed pursuit-evasion and interception for two aircraft moving in a horizontal plane are analyzed in terms of a coordinate frame fixed in the plane at termination. Each participant's optimal motion can be represented by extremal trajectory maps. These maps are used to discuss sub-optimal approximations that are independent of the other participant. A method of constructing sections of the barrier, dispersal, and control-level surfaces and thus determining feedback strategies is described. Some examples are shown for pursuit-evasion and the minimum-time interception of a straight-flying target.
