Mission-oriented scheme generation method for weapon system of systems

Abstract

The scheme for weapon system of systems (WSoS) is a combination of equipment systems that supports the mission completion. Modern warfare combat missions tend to be complex, short-lived, and costly, which poses new challenges to the generation of the schema of WSoS. The structures of both missions and WSoS are analyzed in this paper. The subtask decomposition relationship of the mission and the system decomposition relationship of the equipment system are defined. A fuzzy quantitative description of the system function implementation is formed in terms of supportiveness, time and cost. On this basis, the mission-oriented WSoS scheme is transformed into a fuzzy weighted network, and the scheme generation algorithm and scheme evaluation index are proposed. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed approach is demonstrated using an illustrative example.
