Iron Dome Interceptor
Conic-section maths as a radar interceptor: solve focus and directrix from a moving target's parametric position.
01
The problem
Conic geometry is abstract until it has a job to do.
02
How I approached it
The interceptor path is a horizontal parabola derived live from the target's coordinate at time t, with the solved focus and directrix drawn alongside the intercept.
03
The outcome
A visual proof that the algebra and the trajectory are the same object.
