Research on invulnerability of combined operations combat network under repair

We study the invulnerability problem of combined operations combat network under repair in this paper. A combined operations combat network model is established in the use of complex network theory. Random repair mode and preferred repair mode are defined. We find out the negative exponential relationship between repair rate and combat invulnerability of the network, based on simulation data, and determine reasonable values of repair rate. Further simulation shows that preferred repair as a whole is superior to random repair. The results provide a theoretical basis to develop optimized maintenance resources allocation in wartime.
