The article deals with the development and implementation of educational modules on unmanned aviation systems (UAS) in higher education programs of the aerospace industry. The main focus is on the methodology of conceptual design of UAS and scenario modeling as a key tool for shaping technical requirements for unmanned systems. The practical significance of the research lies in the development of specific methodological materials for training specialists in the field of unmanned aviation. The proposed approaches allow students to acquire the necessary competencies for designing modern UAS and bridge the gap between academic education and industry requirements. The research results can be used in the development of educational programs in the following areas: aircraft construction, technical operation of aircraft, robotics, control systems, unmanned systems design.
Keywords: unmanned aviation systems, scenario modeling, conceptual design, educational modules, aerospace industry, design methodology, operation modeling, personnel training, UAS efficiency models, engineering education
