Multipath High Performance Aircraft and Weapon Trajectory
A multipath SOCS simulation was used to solve high-performance aircraft mission design specified by waypoints and the deployment of a glide weapon are solved using a . After eight mesh refinements, the discretization had 807 grid points and required the solution of a sparse nonlinear program with 3602 constraints and 5795 variables.
