Abstract
The paper proposes waypoints following guidance law. In this method an optimal trajectory is first generated which is then represented through a set of waypoints that are distributed from the starting point up to the final target point using a polynomial. The guidance system then works by issuing guidance command needed to move from one waypoint to the next one. Here the method is applied for a surface-to-surface missile. The results show that the method is feasible for on-board application.
