well call it the al-qaida start-up strategy, but basically couldnt you do this:
buy some propellant cores for amateur rockets and line them up in a tube, so they burn one after the other.
put the centre of drag behind the centre of mass so it flies straight.
get the fins off a radio controlled air plane, and either direct the trust or the rear fins for steering.
Put a RISK, or simple MCU in and complie a code.
Use a high definition infrared sensor, rastorise the screen, and pre compute heat signature values for flares, and the sun, plus the engines and the diffused jet wash.
Programme a fuse, and an auto lock on, directioning, steering, bootup switch.
Put a can with a pound or so of Astrolite 15/ C4, or a fertilizer like ammonium nitrate, some TNT, and a low order explosive like Gunpower, and a cap, or a shock triggered explosive like, lead *****.
then either fire it at a chopper or a plane. You could mass produce those things with a small circuit board factory, and some basic chips, the high definition rastorising IR-sensor would be hardest to get, the rest is easy or switchable, you could fire ten at once easily in a volley.
At school at age 15 I once programmed a BBC acorn with a logic programmed buggy to either search for the brightest area of a room or the darkest, this is just an extension of that.
Frankly I dont think alqaida have been hot on recruiting aerospace engineers or EE's, so we are safe for now.
