Reporter xiao liwoo, intern jia yinran, liaozawa: last month, an examiner on the line asked if “the missile maintenance profession” was worth the test. "put the anchor directly into a tumble: do missiles need to be repaired?"
At that time, the students and parents of the crowd expressed their first knowledge of the profession. One time, the topic “what exactly does the missile maintenance profession learn and how to find employment” became a quick topic online. Only two colleges are operating in the country, one in jiangxi. In recent days, journalists have learned at the jiangxi institute of aerotechnicals that this small profession is employed as a “shampi”。
Missiles need maintenance? Non-refurbishment, precisely “maintenance”
In recent years, our missile equipment, as an important component of the modernization of national defence, has evolved across borders. The level of technology and the quantity of equipment for missiles have increased significantly。
For the first time, when the “missile maintenance profession” was heard, most people wondered, “do missiles need to be repaired?”

The leader (group) of the jiangxi institute of aeronautical technology in missile maintenance told journalists that the missile maintenance profession was primarily responsible for the complete overhaul and maintenance of the missile after its departure. “missiles do need to be repaired, but more precisely, they should be maintained.”
Missiles have a life cycle that requires expertise to maintain, and a missile maintenance profession to handle fan
According to the presentation, “missiles, as a special industrial product, have a life cycle, and are not, as is understood, retrofitting failed missiles”; within this life cycle, a large number of skilled personnel are required to transport, stockpile, test, maintain and repair missiles to ensure their integrity and improve missile launch reliability. This is also an important background for the institution's missile maintenance specialization. “we opened this specialty in 2021, and it could be said that it came at the right time, and this year we have our first graduates.”
As one of the two schools currently operating in the country that specialize in missile maintenance, the jiangxi institute of aeronautical technology has acquired a natural advantage。
“aircraft maintenance, as a vocational technical college with a long aviation history background, has been a major specialization of the academy for many years. Missiles, as a vehicle, have many similarities with other types of aircraft in basic disciplines, and schools can fully use the wealth of existing teaching resources to effectively guarantee the quality of teaching. Therefore, on the basis of the development of the situation and the special features of the school, the school decided to open a missile maintenance profession.” according to moravin, the introduction of the missile maintenance profession is also fully consistent with the special features of the jiangxi institute of aeronautical technology。

What are you studying in missile maintenance
The close integration of theory and practice is a central feature of the teaching system of missile maintenance technology. According to moji, the curriculum for this profession is extensive and in-depth, covering a number of key areas such as the rationale of missile systems, their construction and maintenance techniques. “our core curricula, such as missiles overview, missile guidance and control, and missile decomposition and assembly technology, are designed to provide students with the full and in-depth expertise needed for missile maintenance.” mojian emphasizes。
“the hardest part is to apply theoretical learning in practice.” the students of grade 2022, jiang, were deeply touched. He recalled that, while he had acquired theoretical knowledge in the classroom, he had encountered a number of operational challenges in the course " missile decomposition and assembly techniques " . “theory is the foundation, but it is only when it is really done to dismantle and assemble missile components that many of the details are found to require attention.” jiang said, “for example, the sequence of dismantling of each component and the control of its strength at assembly are directly related to the performance and safety of missiles”
In the course of their studies on the dismantling and insurance of solids, jiang students have learned a great deal about missile maintenance. He is familiar not only with the types of compacts, standards in the military and civilian fields, but also with the specifications, dimensions and performance of each. “standing and insurance are small, but their application in missile maintenance is extremely widespread. Each detail, such as how many circles to screw, how tight or how loose, and even the angle of each circle, is strictly regulated.”
In order to ensure that students have both a solid theoretical basis and hard practice skills, according to the moravin, the profession uses a diversified approach. This includes theoretical knowledge examinations to test students ' level of expertise and hands-on tests to assess students ' level of skills in practice。

"flames" in cold-blooded professions, but "sands" in employment, though small
The popularity of the missile maintenance profession has risen dramatically as it is popular on the internet. “many students call each day to consult the missile maintenance profession.” according to zhu xubo, head of the admissions service of the jiangxi institute of aeronautical profession and technology, it is true that this profession has been enthusiastically followed by a large number of candidates in terms of recruitment advice and placements this year。
According to chu, this year's admission programme for the missile maintenance profession in schools is directed at 160 non-commissioned officers and 120 regular students. “as far as available data on placements are concerned, several provinces have experienced high levels of undergraduate placements, as has jiangxi.” according to zhu xubo, “this means that both candidates and parents have a high level of recognition and expectation of the profession, and they see prospects for its development and employment space”
U aung, assistant rector of the jiangxi institute of air technology, told journalists that, despite the relatively small number of missile maintenance professions and the limited number of jobs available on the market, the demand for this profession, in terms of supply and demand, is still far greater than supply, and therefore the prospects for employment are considerable. “... Upon completion of their studies in missile maintenance technology, the majority of the students who have completed their studies will enter the army, while the majority of the students in general will be in military factories, state enterprises in china's aviation industry, zhang zhang, etc., with clear and attractive employment paths.”
