Abstract
In this paper, we present a function network modeling technique and two capability evaluation indicators for combat system-of-systems (CSoS) based on OODA loop. The function network mainly describes the weapon entities and the function interaction between them, such as can-be-observed, can-orient, can-be-decided and can-act. After discussing the CSoS function network model and its generation algorithm, two indicators are proposed to evaluate CSoS capability. A case study on air strike CSoS modeling and simulation analysis is presented to validate proposed method and the indicators. Results show that the number of OODA loops is positively relevant to the CSoS capability, and entropy \( TE \) reflects the distribution of OODA loops covering enemy targets.
