Fuze Systems Theory and Complexity Science
Jian Zhang · Tance yu kongzhi xuebao · 2005
This paper investigates fuze systems from the points of view of classical theories of system and information cybernetics and modern complexity science.Environment recognition,target recognition and corresponding decision process can be studied using information theory to deal with the uncertainty.Although the instantaneous firing action is became a dynamical process by fuze safety device,the dynamical characteristics are not obvious.So it's difficult to study fuze systems on the basis of cybernetics.Complexity science have been developing rapidly since 1990s.The features of HOT(Highly Optimized Tolerance) and the requirements of HAHC(High Assurance High Consequence) may be found in the highly integrated fuze system,which is one kind of man-made complex engineering system.So it's an important new way to study fuze systems with complexity science.
