Abstract

The trajectory planning of hypersonic vehicle is an important problem for its safe flight. This paper analyzes the characteristics of trajectory planning for hypersonic vehicle and deduces the models of the threat field, the geometrical constraint, the aerothermal constraint and the constraint for fuel and path, which directly influence the flight trajectory of hypersonic vehicle. Here, we divided the trajectory planning into the mission level route planning and the tactical level rout planning with the hierarchical theory. Finally, the improved Sparse A* algorithm with variable step is designed and simulated. The simulation results verify that this method has the advantages of high speed and strong stability. The planned trajectory can satisfy all the flight demands of the hypersonic vehicle and can dodge all kinds of threat.
