Abstract:

The concept of capability based requirement generation for armament system of systems (SoS) has been accepted gradually, but it lacks a quantitative method to support the practical process of requirement generation. Aiming at the problem on how to obtain the wireless bandwidth requirement of reconnaissance armament SoS (RASoS), the communication capability based approach for generating bandwidth requirement of RASoS is investigated. A framework for generating wireless bandwidth requirement of RASoS is proposed; the quantitative relationship between bandwidth and capability requirement is analyzed; a network model of RASoS and a simulation model of bandwidth are built through the integrated use of network modeling, queuing theory and simulation analysis, therefore, the bandwidth value to satisfy the communication ability can be obtained. Finally, the more satisfied bandwidth value is obtained through adjusting topology connection. The investigation can provide a support to develop the requirement of armament SoS.
