The Concept of the Aerospace System in the Context of Training Specialists to Ensure the Complex of Its Management Tasks and the Application of Information Technologies

Abstract

Background. The defining trends of technical progress are the development of information technologies and revolutionary approaches to the practical use of space. In aviation, there are breakthroughs in the creation of a variety of technical implementations of aviation equipment and its application. Increasingly close interaction between aviation and space systems at the level of service provision, joint problem solving. The transition to large aerospace systems connected into a single entity on the basis of information technologies and having the function of supplying information technologies is not far away. The training of specialists in the creation and operation of aerospace systems is becoming an increasingly urgent task and should be several steps ahead of the latest achievements in this direction. 
 Objective: conceptual developments regarding the creation of an aerospace system and educational programs for training specialists in solving the problems of managing its aircraft and their target equipment, this system management, application and production of information technologies in the system. 
 Methods. Results. On the basis of the analysis of the development of tasks and technologies in the field of space and aviation technology and the prospects of their combination, the concept of a single aerospace system is proposed with an emphasis on the complex of issues of managing such a system, on information technologies in this system. In the context of the creation, development and operation of the aerospace system, the features and common features of three types of educational programs are highlighted, grouped by preparation for the corresponding groups of tasks: management in space systems; management in aviation systems; provision of the aerospace system with information technologies and (or) providing information technology by the system. The content of the educational material within the framework of the mentioned educational programs is generally considered.
 Conclusions. The materials of the article are aimed at improving the mentioned educational programs.
