Abstract During descending flight of a hypersonic cruise vehicle (HCV), the flight environment is complicated due to the drastically changed atmosphere. It is necessary for the flight trajectory to perform accurate and fast optimization. To solve the nonlinear optimization problem, in this paper, a global adaptive Radau pseudo-spectral method, which is introduced with an hp adaptive strategy (p method to increase the number of points in time interval and h method to refine the interval) is presented. The maximum range and the shortest engagement time are considered, respectively, as performance index to optimize controlling of the attack angle. Using Lagrange interpolation polynomial approximation, the optimal control problem is transformed into a problem of nonlinear programming and solved by a sequence quadratic programming algorithm. Simulation results have shown that the presented method has high computational efficiency and desirable accuracy, with the flying constraints satisfied. It is an effective trajectory optimization method for HCVs.

1 Introduction Hypersonic cruise vehicle (HCV) is powered by supercombustion ram engine and can perform hypersonic cruise flight. The HCVs are equipped on a variety of launch platforms such as land based, sea based or air based, which can damage and attack high-value time-sensitive targets on land, sea and air with hypersonic speed and are used as main weapon equipment in the hypersonic vehicles. The descending flight trajectory of HCVs is a complicated process with large maneuvers, wide field, nonlinear constraints and strong uncertainties. It is necessary for such a descending trajectory to establish an effective, accurate and fast optimization method [1]. The trajectory optimization problem involves two aspects: numerical method and numerical optimization method. To solve the problem, optimal control is converted into parameter optimization using a numerical method, and then the

parameter optimization is realized by applying a numerical optimization method. Numerical methods are generally divided into direct methods (DM) and indirect methods (IM) according to whether to directly optimize the performance index. The IM does not directly optimize the performance indicator function, and the DM directly optimizes the performance indicator function. With the improvement of computer performance, the current numerical method
