Research on Multi-agent Based C4ISR Effectiveness Simulation and Evaluation

The effectiveness evaluation of C4ISR is playing a more and more important role in its designing, developing and using. According to its characters, such as complexity and intelligence, the traditional evaluation methods and systems are not feasible and effective enough. In this paper, a multi-agent based simulation and evaluation framework of C4ISR is advanced, which includes the architecture and the working procedure. The agent-based simulation model of C4ISR is put forward, according to which the C2 Agent, Armament Agent and the Evaluation Agent are founded. The interaction model between each agent is also designed. At final, based on the Swarm, a multi-agent based C4ISR effectiveness simulation and evaluation prototype is developed, through which NATO C2 effectiveness evaluation is thoroughly analyzed.
