Abstract:

Weapon system-of-systems optimization (WSoSO) is one of the most important methods to improve weapon system-of-systems (WSoS) effectiveness and combat capability. Firstly, the definition and meaning of WSoS and WSoSO are explored| then seven SoSO methods are analyzed, including trilevel integrated system synthesis method, exploratory analysis method, executable modelbased method, confrontation simulation optimization method, multihierarchical multistage method, multiobjective collaborative optimization method and mathematical programming method. After that, they are compared in aspects of application domain, model type, key factors, advantages and disadvantages, etc. Finally, four key problems of WSoSO are discussed to prompt further research.
