The Mad Scientist of Rocketry is at it again!
Picture this:
BT-80 based rocket goes up, slow lift-off on long-burn motor.
Shortly before burnout, 3 pairs of MMX rockets launch out through "silos" drilled into the nose cone, 2 at a time, each about 0.2 seconds apart.
I was thinking a Big Daddy or Executioner sized rocket as the booster, to get the diameter necessary. The smaller rockets would obviously have to be fired via a multi-event timer, and that would also require some space.
Anybody ever tried it before, or seen it done? It would sort of have the effect of a plane in flight firing unguided ground-attack rockets, but everything would be aimed up, not down.
