The capability spaces complexity measure method of Weapon System of Systems

The weapon system of systems (WSoS) is a complex system composed of independent systems. The capability of WSoS is the ability of the WSoS to accomplish its specific mission. As the scale of the WSoS continues to increase and the types of systems included continue to rise, the capabilities of the WSoS become more and more complex. The measurement of the complexity of the capabilities of the WSoS is conducive to the overall control of the WSoS, which is beneficial to provid a basis for the correct use of the WSoS. In this paper, the capability spacess of the WSoS are described, and their hierarchical structure is analyzed through the capability tree. The capacity decomposition and capacity dependence relationship of the capability spacess are analyzed. Based on the capability decomposition and capacity dependence relationship, the complexity measurement method of the capability spacess of WSoS based on entropy is given. Finally, the feasibility of the method is verified by an example.
