Abstract :
Based on the complex networks theory and military theory, we analyzed the static and dynamic relations of the command entities and combat entities, and reached the forming mechanism of combat system networks; then we researched the common structure of network of combat system, which consist of reconnaissance forces, command department, attack forces and target connected together by reconnaissance network, command and control network and engagement network; we also discussed the methods of measurement of networked effects. Finally we validated the truth that the networked effects of information age combat systems are bigger than that of traditional combat systems, and gave the analysis of the causes from the structure of network of combat systems with adjacency matrix methods.
