On structure complexity and behavior complexity of naval warfare

With an aim to master the development regulations of modern naval warfare, the author divides the complexity of modern naval warfare into the structure complexity and the behavior complexity for further measuring through analyzing the concept of naval warfare complexity. Firstly, the “distribution entropy of node strength” is brought forward to measure the complexity of static structure of naval warfare and the model is built by applying complex network. Secondly, the “behavior entropy” is addressed to measure the behavior complexity of movement and the model is built from the angle of information quality and decision-making capability. Lastly, the measuring equation of naval warfare complexity is given and various factors affecting the complexity of naval warfare are analyzed as well.
