A simpler, smaller, less costly intercepting vehicle is provided. For example, a highly scalable intercepting vehicle may include a single axial rocket motor and a body-fixed, wide field of view (FOV) sensor unit to accommodate attitude changes required to steer the intercepting vehicle. This intercepting vehicle may be much smaller and less costly than conventional intercepting vehicles.
