Abstract:

The advantage of using a spline function to evaluate the trajectory parameters optimization is discussed. A new method that using adaptive varied terminal-node spline interpolation for solving trajectory optimization is proposed. And it is validated in optimizing the trajectory of guided bombs and extended range guided munitions (ERGM). The solutions are approximate to the real optimization results. The advantage of this arithmetic is that it can be used to solve the trajectory optimization with complex models. Thus, it is helpful for solving the practical engineering optimization problem.
