  • receiving, by an intercept device, target positioning data, generated at a moving target device, from the moving target device, the target positioning data including at least (i) a current geographic location of the moving target device and (ii) an intended destination geographic location of the moving target device;

    generating, by the intercept device, intercept positioning data; and

    locally generating, by the intercept device, a predicted target course using the current geographic location of the moving target device and the intended destination geographic location of the moving target device, and using the predicted target course and the generated intercept position data to generate an intercept course, wherein the intercept course intersects the target course at an intercept destination, the intercept destination different from the intended destination geographic location.
