Practice and Enlightenment of China's Aerospace Complex System Management in the National System

Abstract

Aerospace engineering is characterized by its huge scale, technological complexity, high standards of quality and reliability, tremendous cost, and long R&D cycle. It is closely tied with national politics and defense security, and may indirectly provide socioeconomic benefits. To organize and implement a complex aerospace project, it is necessary to make innovations in technologies, schedules, qualities, and facilit ies construction management measures and establish an aerospace engineering management system adaptive to the high-complexity feature, based on the management models of the traditional aerospace system engineering. Different types of participants play different functions in project decision-making. The expert group participates in the whole process of the formulation and decision-making of the schemes, providing decision support for each system and the general department. This study describes the implications for the space domain of China’s deployment of the state-owned enterprises (SOEs) as power projection vehicles to advance Beijing’s national strategy. In order to provide reference for the application of model-based systems engineering (MBSE) in the aerospace field, suggestions and conclusions on the development of MBSE application in China were provided.
