Evolutionary Analysis of Operation System-of-Systems (SoS) Network Based on Simulated Data

Abstract

By means of complex network methods, we construct the Operation SoS network based on simulated data generated by games in large-scale joint operations and analyze the basic statistical characteristics and evolution. Through analyzing, there are three findings: the first one is that the Operation SoS network have the basic characteristics of complex networks, the second one is Operation SoS network's structure determines its real effects, the third one is that it helps to find the problems and recognize the trend of flattening existing in command system, and to predict the future of warfare by means of complex network methods.
