Combat System of Systems Network Modeling and Networked Effects Analysis

As existing operational model cannot indicating the networked level of combat System of Systems(SoS),three basic network models of Single-Service arms,Multi-Service arms and Integration arms combat SoS are developed through the perspective of networked level,and a new index is put forward for quantifying the network effect of combat SoS,and then the networked effects of the three combat SoS are analyzed using the new and existing indices.The numerical results indicates that though Integration arms combat SoS has the highest networked effects,but when considering the vulnerability,Its Link-averaged networked effects are lower than single arms.The model can effectively indicate the combat process,as the new index can quantify the average networked effects considering the vulnerability.
