In this paper, a trajectory shaping guidance law, which considers constraints of field-of-view (FOV) angle, impact angle, and terminal lateral acceleration, is proposed for a constant speed missile against a stationary target. First, to decouple constraints of the FOV angle and the terminal lateral acceleration, the third-order polynomial with respect to the line-ofsight (LOS) angle is introduced. Based on an analysis of the relationship between the looking angle and the guidance coefficient,

Furthermore, the proposed law can be implemented under bearingsonly information, as the guidance command does not involve the relative range and the LOS angle rate. Finally, numerical simulations are performed based on a kinematic vehicle model to verify the effectiveness of the guidance law. Overall, the work offers an easily implementable guidance law with closed-form guidance gains, which is suitable for engineering applications.
