The combat domain of modern warfare is becoming increasingly multidimensional. It is important to evaluate the resilience of the air-ground cooperative network for defending against attack threats and recovery performance. First, a resilience analysis model was proposed to effectively analyze and evaluate the resilience of the air-ground cooperative network. Then, considering the available resources, three dynamic reconfiguration strategies were given from the global perspective to help the air-ground cooperative network quickly recover performance and enhance combat capabilities. Finally, a typical 50-node network was taken as an example to prove the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed model. The proposed method can provide scientific guidance for improving the air-ground cooperative network combat capabilities.

Abstract

The combat domain of modern warfare is becoming increasingly multidimensional. It is important to evaluate the resilience of the air-ground cooperative network for defending against attack threats and recovery performance. First, a resilience analysis model was proposed to effectively analyze and evaluate the resilience of the air-ground cooperative network. Then, considering the available resources, three dynamic reconfiguration strategies were given from the global perspective to help the air-ground cooperative network quickly recover performance and enhance combat capabilities. Finally, a typical 50-node network was taken as an example to prove the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed model. The proposed method can provide scientific guidance for improving the air-ground cooperative network combat capabilities.
