Pengcheng Luo · Systems engineering and electronics · 2005
It is a difficult problem to evaluate the combat capability/effectiveness of weapons system of systems (SoS). The goal of this paper is to search for a way to evaluate the combat capability of weapons SoS through the discussion on the problems related, and to arouse more consideration in the study on SoS. Firstly the concepts of combat capability and combat effectiveness are brought forward, and the methods to aggregate combat capability indices are studied. Then the disadvantages of the previous analysis method of capability evaluation ae analyzed. Finally the concept of discount coefficient and a new framework to evaluate the combat capability of weapons SoS are proposed.
