Unveiling the Impact of Network Structure in Enhancing Information Dissemination Efficiency for Military Command and Control : A SIR Modeling Study

At the intersection of network science, communication models, and military command and control, this study explores the critical impact of network structure on the efficiency of information dissemination. We discuss how these findings can be applied to real-world military situations. Our research employs the SIR model and network simulation to replicate the information propagation process within the network. We discovered that various aspects of the network structure, such as node relationships, topology, and information propagation paths, exert a significant influence on the speed and scope of information dissemination. Furthermore, we explore the practical applications of these theories and findings in military command and control strategies. By considering network structure, we can design follow-up experiments tailored to specific network classifications within complex and realistic environments, aiming to optimize communication methods. In summary, this study introduces an innovative perspective in the military domain, with far-reaching implications for future research and the practical implementation of military command decision-making.
