Abstract

Abstract: As a representative of complex systems, launch vehicles face the challenges of high-quality, high-efficiency and high-benefit development. Addressing the limitations of traditional document-driven approaches such as complex cross-disciplinary coordinaiton, difficulties in multi-system coupled verification, and low iterative efficiency, the current application status of model based systems engineering (MBSE) methods in complex system development is investigated, and the mainstream MBSE methodology is analyzed. The MBSE application technology research is conducted focusing on the requirements analysis, scheme disign, process verification and other aspects in the development process of launch vehicles. Through scenario-based simulations, the effectiveness of MBSE in improving development quality and efficiency, as well as identifying potential risks is demonstrated. A model-driven framework is proposed for launch vehicle system development, extendable to digital twins and intelligent decision support, showcasing significant engineering value in advancing precision-oriented and agile transformation for aerospace complex systems. Suggestions and prospects are put forward for the development direction of MBSE technology under the new situation, as well as the integration application prospects for launch vehicles.

Key words: launch vehicle, MBSE, requirements analysis, scheme disign, process verification
