Abstract

Abstract: Digital technology has been widely applied in the development of aerospace products, promoting the continuous development of aerospace system engineering methods. In order to further clarify the development direction of aerospace system engineering in the digital age and promote digital space construction, this article provides an overview of the development and application of aerospace system engineering driven by digital technology. Firstly, the new characteristics of the development of aerospace system engineering in the digital age were analyzed from three aspects: model-based system engineering development, digital intelligence technology empowerment, and commercial aerospace promotion. Then, typical full lifecycle system engineering theoretical models in the digital age were analyzed, and the development of digital technology integration applications was analyzed from the entire development process scenarios, including planning and demonstration, development and design, production and manufacturing, experimental testing, service guarantee, and production management. The characteristics of establishing a full lifecycle development and management digital ecosystem through the integration of technologies such as MBSE, digital twin, digital thread, and artificial intelligence were elucidated. On this basis, combined with the core scenario transformation goals of aerospace product development and management, the future technological development trend of digital era aerospace system engineering is proposed, in order to further promote the improvement of the theoretical and methodological system of aerospace system engineering and provide support for the construction of digital development and management mode.

Key words: digital technology, aerospace systems engineering, research and development model innovation, management innovation
