Abstract

Combat modeling is an important area of military operations. System of system counterworkis an important mode of information-based war which is a mode of “network centered” instead of “platform centered” and “capability oriented” instead of “function oriented”. Under the conditions ofinformationization, the combat model must therefore address these challenges by properly representingthe networked efficient based on mutual relations among combat entities. The implementation processof combat system of systems capability is analyzed which is the result of complex interactions betweenthe entities in four domains through a sequence of action processes. The combat network model ofcombat system of systems is described which reflects the fundamental structure of combat system ofsystems. The entity with three types of functions and five types of relations in the combat network isanalyzed. The capability loop is defined and the evaluation index of combat network of combat systemof systems is proposed based on the capability loop analysis. Finally, an example is used to illustratethe methodology.

Key words
