Air Combat Modeling Based on DE+FSM+CT Architecture

Combat modeling is important for simulating real combat scenarios and assisting commanders to optimize the combat plan. In this paper, we propose a combat modeling and simulation system based on DE+FSM+CT architecture for the air defense scenario. Generally, a combat situation can be viewed as a discrete event system exchanging signals and physical interactions between subsystems. Following the DEVS formalism, we develop the system with 3 types of models including the entity model, action model and damage model, which model the combat subjects, combat actions and combat effects respectively. The basic modeling unit of the system is a native model, which is an agent designed based on the DE+FSM+CT architecture. Each agent has independent internal structure, behavior and explicit input/output interfaces, achieving the modeling of combat actions. Multiple agents are connected hierarchically into a coupled multi-agent model to achieve hierarchical modeling of the continuous time system and discrete event system for combat scenario. We experiment by taking different combat plans as input, and show the simulation results. According to the results, we can easily select the optimal combat plan. The experimental results show the superiority of the DE+FSM+CT architecture for combat modeling and simulationeffectively.
