Abstract:

The war becomes more and more complicated currently. How to design and select the best unmanned equipment system-of-systems (SoS) to complete the mission is a difficult problem. In order to solve this problem, a super-network based unmanned equipment SoS architecture model and a space exploration algorithm are proposed. Firstly, a formal description framework of the unmanned equipment SoS is given based on the elements of combat capability generation. Secondly, a framework for the unmanned equipment SoS architecture scheme space exploration problem is put forward, the goal of which is to find several optimal architectures with maximized expected rewards and minimized accumulated costs. Thirdly, a dynamic search algorithm for the optimal architecture scheme based on sequential allocation mechanism is proposed. Finally, the algorithm is tested through simulation experiments. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is significantly better than other benchmark algorithms. The architecture framework and solution space exploration algorithm proposed have the function of assisting decision-making.
