Study of Multi-agent Based Combat Simulation Model Framework

Most of traditional models for combat simulation are of mathematics, which have difficulties in describing the complex situation in battlefield and the inherent dynamics of war. Complex adaptive system theory and multi-agent based modeling and simulation method give a new perspective for combat simulation. Under the conduction of multi-agent based modeling and simulation method, we put forward a multi-agent based combat simulation model framework. The emphasis is put on the agent structure. The details of the properties and actions of agent are discussed. After comparing the concept of agent and object, it is concluded that object-oriented method is fit for the implementation of this kind of model.
