Guidance and control system plays a key role in generating desired flight trajectories for various missions in the aerospace community. With the increasing task requirements, constrained guidance and control methodologies have been an evolutionary step in achieving sophisticate and safe flight mission operations. Unlike the traditional guidance and control that only considers the zero-miss distance and tracking control stability, constrained guidance and control are required to meet a wide range of practical flight constraints. This collection aims to share the latest results in theoretical and experimental investigations ranging from analytical to learning methods for constrained guidance and control in aerospace applications and provide a wide range of state-of-the-art trends in constrained guidance and control designs.
