Capability requirement analysis of airdrop assault system-of-systems based on UML/MM integrated modeling and simulation

Large-scale helicopter group is an important part of the Airdrop Assault System of Systems (AASoS). How to plan the scale of helicopter group and achieve the best operational effectiveness is a focus of the AASoS capability requirement analysis. Based on the macro-micro characteristic of the system of systems and the individual system, airdrop assault combat models are divided into three types separately in macro and micro perspective. A UML/MM modeling method for airdrop assault combat is proposed and the models are built in UML and mathematic method (MM) respectively. In addition, an airdrop assault combat simulation system is developed and thirteen simulation plans of different scale values are designed as the inputs of the system. The optimal scale value of helicopter group under the certain scenario is gained through the analysis of the effectiveness based on the simulation results. In this scale condition, the AASoS achieves its optimal survival and time effectiveness.
