In this paper we propose a trajectory shaping guidance law for directing a pursuer toward a stationary target with a prescribed impact angle, while satisfying a field-of-view (FOV) constraint. A saturated parameterization of the look angle based on the hyperbolic tangent function is employed, inherently enforcing the FOV constraint throughout the engagement. As a result, the guidance problem reduces to solving a univariate nonlinear equation for the guidance gain. Some properties of this smooth nonlinear equation are analyzed, enabling efficient and reliable solution via a bisection method with a first-order approximate initializer. Numerical simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed guidance law in achieving the desired impact angle while satisfying the FOV constraint.
