In this paper, an approach that considered both the continuous and discrete variables using the Gauss pseudospectral method is presented for multiphase trajectory optimization of gun-launched glide guided projectiles. The entire projectile trajectory is divided into four flight phases that connect to each other sequentially to ensure continuity. Continuous variables are utilized to describe the projectile's state and control. Meanwhile, discrete variables are proposed to express the initial flight path angle and switching times between different flight phases. The trajectory optimization problem is posed as a constrained multiphase nonlinear optimal control problem, which is then transcribed into a nonlinear programming problem using the Gauss pseudospectral method and is finally solved using the interior point algorithm. Simulation results demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of this approach, as well as a detailed analysis of the key features of the trajectory parameters.
