Because of using the orthogonal basis functions and thus reducing the computational burden, this new method which is named constrained generalized model predictive spread control can be used in online implementation of a finite-time constrained optimal control problem. For demonstrating the performance of the proposed technique, in this paper an interceptor midcourse guidance problem is formulated to reach a desired point in space. Several constraints are considered such as: hard and soft intermediate and terminal constraints on system states and different constraints on input acceleration command to the interceptor in different time intervals of the trajectory. It is shown that in all the above situations, the proposed method could produce the optimal guidance commands such that all the interceptor trajectory constraints are satisfied. %> http://joc.kntu.ac.ir/article-1-766-en.pdf %P 117-137 %& 117 %! %9 Research paper %L A-10-1184-1 %+ Malek-Ashtar University of Technology %G eng %@ 2008-8345 %[ 2021
