Model and Effectiveness Analysis for C4ISR System Structure Based on Complex Network

To address the issues of quantitative analysis and effectiveness evaluation for the C4ISR system structure, a model to define the C4ISR system structure based on the complex network and the method to evaluate its networked effectiveness is proposed. The components as well as their interactions in the system are abstracted as the nodes and edges in the networked model respectively, and the relevant statistical characteristics of the complex network are adopted to construct the evaluation indexes of networked effectiveness. Extended case studies for a typical C4ISR system validated the correctness and feasibility of the proposed method.
