In the previous reports, analytical target cascading (ATC) is generally applied to product optimization. In this paper, the application area of ATC is expanded to trajectory optimization. Direct collocation method is utilized to convert a trajectory optimization into a nonlinear programing (NLP) problem. The converted NLP is a large-scale problem with sparse matrix of functional dependence table (FDT) suitable for the application of ATC. Three numerical case studies are provided to show the effects of ATC in solving trajectory optimization problems.
