Abstract:

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence and unmanned equipment technologies, modern warfare is no longer confined to the linear accumulation of equipment and technology. Instead, it has evolved into a complex combat system of systems with collaborative manned-unmanned systems, deep integration, and continuous evolution. To facilitate the systematic design of this complex system, a modeling and simulation method for manned-unmanned collaborative combat systems, combining the Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) with domain-specific modeling (DSM) is proposed. Firstly, combat system is analyzed through four dimensions: “scenario-capability-system-activity”, establishing a system-of-systems modeling framework and process. Subsequently, abstract the concepts and knowledge in the field of combat using DSM methods, and construct a meta model for human-machine collaborative combat. Using model driven technology to achieve dynamic behavioral logic simulation verification of architecture models. Finally, taking the A city combat exercise as an example, this method is applied to model and simulate the coordinated combat system with/without personnel. The results indicate that compared to the traditional DoDAF, the method proposed in this paper effectively improves the expression effect and modeling efficiency of the model, providing a reference for the top-level design of future intelligent operations.

Key words: collaborative combat, Department of Defense Architecture Framework(DoDAF), domain-specific modeling(DSM), domain meta-model, model-driven simulation verification
