The problem of optimal mid-course guidance is studied. The final velocity is maximized with sequential convex programming. First, missiles flight phase is divided into boost and glide phases. Then, dynamics are converted to input-affine form and convexification is applied to input variables. An adaptive trust region method is developed to robustly find the solution despite the crude initial guess.
