Agent-Based Modeling and Analysis for Military Force

The traditional testing analysis method for military force needs complex process to get the result,and can not meet the current requirements of the army.Based on the notion of agent modeling,the testing analysis method for military force is established.Types of agents for military force include Tactical Command and Control node(C2 node) Operational Decision-making Agent.The study based on the agent modeling embracing the BDI and SHOR model,establishes three essential elements of awareness agent,planning or scheduling agent and communication agent.The study,taking a Joint Task Force as an example,tested the agent-based C2 organizational model in the distributed Simulation environments by exploring the command and control structure of military force.The result shows the capacity of military force when accomplishing the mission in different conditions,and proves that the testing analysis method for military force has characters of flexibility,simplicity and generality.
