the paper introduces and defines system of system support for equipment support force, and then according as complex network theory, it analyzes complexity and characteristic of complex network for systems-of-systems support of equipment support force, at last, it designs framework of equipment support systems-of-systems and maximizes the whole equipment support efficiency. Keywords-complex network; equipment support force; systems-of-systems supportBecause of the factors for complexity of support circumstance, diversity of support objects, indeterminacy of support tasks during warfare in the information age, it will bring on complexity and indeterminacy of equipment support action, and will bring forward higher need for equipment support force. A complicated equipment support system is made up of equipment support teams, bands, groups of multifunctional equipment support force. By introducing complex network theory, the paper will research how to make the equipment support force exertion in effect in information condition, and to actualize equipment support integrative action, consequently, it can provide a new research method for systems-of -systems (called SoS for short) support.
The paper introduces concept and characteristic of method for social network analysis, and then it analyzes and evaluates structure attribute of traditional equipment support organization. According to the complexity characteristics of equipment support organization structure, it optimizes the organization structure, and by data analyzed, it summarizes that network topological structure of equipment support organization has robustness and adaptability. So it can provide a theoretical basis and method direction for building networked equipment support force system of system in wartime. Keywords-social network; equipment support organization; topological structureWith the application and development of information technology and network technology, joint operation is the main combat mode under the condition of high-tech warfare, the battlefield space is developing into multidimensional spaces which are made up of land, sea, air, sky, and so on, so modern warfare has presented non-linear characteristic, open characteristic and complexity characteristic. With the deeply research of systems-of-systems battle capability theory and systems-of-systems combat theory, integrative support theory and networked support theory have become the research hotspot. As the important part of battle systems-of-systems, equipment support systems-of-systems play an important role in warfare. So an important factor which restricts systems-of-systems support is how to set up networked equipment support organization. I. METHOD OF SOCIAL NETWORK ANALYSISA. Concept of Social Network Analysis "Social Network" is a muster of social actors and their relations. In other words, one social network is a muster which is made up of some nodes (social actors) and the lines (relations between social actors). It is a formalized definition of social network by using the nodes and lines to express network. The researchers try to explain the influence which the structure brings to the community function or individual in the community by describing the structure of community relations."Social network analysis" is used to describe and measure the relations of actors or material or invisible things flowing through these relations, such as information, resources...etc. These "relation data" which were got by describing and measuring will be used to analyze and dig out the dynamic relation between individuals and small groups in hidden structure of social network. B. Main Characteristics of Social Network AnalysisThere are two kinds of aspects for researching social network analysis: One is taken network as a kind of analytical tool, which can be used to make clear the relations between actors, actors and environment; the other one is taken network as social structure constituting of the relations between actors, and research object is the relations.The main characteristics are: 1) Research focus is relation data, not attribute dataMany aspects of social behavior can be researched from the aspect of attribute as well as relations. But majority of researchers th...
