Just to clarify terms:
The engagement range or engagement zone is that distance from the launcher where the launch sequence starts to achieve a successful engagement.
This distance is greater than the range of the missile. It varies by target aspect t o t he missile and the velocity toward the launcher.
Assuming head on and a speed ratio of 1:4, the missile can be launched when the target is at max range x 1.20
