It is an urgently problem to be solved that how to test a weapon system-of-systems capabilities in a joint operational context. Firstly, based on the capability assessment of weapon system-of-systems, a procedure of weapon system-of-systems capabilities evaluation strategies design space is proposed. Secondly, supported by agent-based simulation tools, an exploratory analysis example is given which uses the fractional factorial design and stepwise regression fit. This paper makes a better try on the measures selected of the system-of-systems capabilities in the early period of weapon equipment acquisition.

The objective of the research is to develop an agent based methodology for modeling a naval ship environment as a system-of-systems. A ship environment consists of complex interconnected systems such as the infrastructure, crew, and the work flow, which poses a challenge to capability and systems planning. By studying the real-time interactions between these systems, one can help make decisions about new technology to be inserted on a ship. A simulation model based on an agent-based modeling methodology is constructed in MATLAB along with a graphical user interface to simulate workflow scenarios for maintenance, troubleshooting, and watch duties described in predefined XML files in a zone of the ship. The environment consists of crew agents modeled with limited intelligence and behavioural traits, machinery with sensors, equipment consuming power, mobile and stationary network nodes and models for data transfer over the network, crew mobility, power distribution and trimming. Results demonstrate the robustness of powering network nodes over Ethernet. One key result of the simulation model demonstrates the relative effectiveness of network access point locations; a counter intuitive decrease in workflow efficiency occurs due to a new technology inserted to enable wireless access.

The capability planning is a fundamental task when designing a Weapon System of Systems (WSOS). Uncertainties exist when building WSOS. It is difficult to select the most appropriate alternatives under the background of system operations. The programming of capability of WSOS is a multi-criteria decision-making problem. To resolve this problem, a scenario-based multi-criteria decision-making methodology is proposed. Scenario describes the future situation may occur, and also presents the uncertainty of reality. In this paper, scenario was modeled by the key variables in which experts and stakeholders are interested. TOPSIS was also improved based on multiple scenarios. Finally, the method is validated by an example of armored weapon systems.
