Research reliability of C4ISR based on Generalized Stochastic Petri Nets

This paper introduces an approach to deal with in complex military´s C⁴ISR (command, control, communication, computer, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) problem. Taking reliability as the analysis measure, the study adopts the Generalized Stochastic Petri Nets (GSPN) technique used for C⁴ISR to analyze the reliability. A conceptual numerical example and a proposed fast solution´s method are used to illustrate those applications. It is shown that the most complex military´s C⁴ISR intelligent systems can be possibly designed with GSPN.
