Abstract:

Robustness assessment as one of the important content in the capability analysis of armament system-of-systems (SoS), has similar logical structure and the same methodology with some approaches used in armament SoS planning. Robustness assessment of SoS is a problem about effectiveness assessment in essence, then a model of interaction network is proposed to achieved it. Some related definitions such as loop of operation and structure of operation are put forward as well. Based on this, some measures of interaction network are proposed for assessing robustness. Finally, the effectiveness of the method is proved by a sample simulating case, taking a time critical striking SoS as an example, the robustness is calculated and shown.
