Abstract:

Networking air defense missile systems (NADMS) represent the superior development of the air defense missile system in fature. As NADMS is a new complex combat system of systems, Agent-based modeling and simulation (ABMS) proves an effective approach to explore the new operational characteristics emerging in it. Based on the network-centric architecture, the architecture compared with the platform centric one and some new operational characteristics are analyzed, and an agent based simulation framework is designed, including simulation entity types, their relationships and interfaces, the interior architecture and behavior rules of the air defense unit agent. Based on scenario simulations, information and decision superiority and operational advantages in NADMS are analyzed, meanwhile some suggestions are provided for its future development.
