Abstract:

In the face of the particularity of tropospheric airship complex takeoff and landing process and weak meteorological adaptability, the traditional text-based approach concept of operation (ConOps) analysis has some limitations such as poor design consistency, ineffective design traceability and difficult verification. Based on this, the model-based system engineering (MBSE) method for ConOps of tropospheric airship is proposed. At first, a association relationships between system use cases and stakeholder requirements is established to ensure the traceability of the design. Then, based on the activity diagram, sequence diagram and internal block diagram, the airship operation scene model is established, and the execution logic and external interaction relationship of airship operation are sorted out in detail. The state executing machine model is implemented to verify the model of ConOps and further complement and refine the stakeholder requirements. Finally, the unmanned airship system is validated by executing a state machine to meet the needs of stakeholders such as mission flight, flight control, and emergency response.

Key words: model-based system engineering (MBSE), tropospheric airship, concept of operation, requirement management
