With the diversity of the modern combat mission requirements, the more sophisticatedfunctions of loitering ammunition are needed. The revolution in military affairs requires thejoint operations. To meet this requirement, swarm self-organizing cooperative combat modewhich can give full play to the advantages of loitering ammunition and improve overalloperational effectiveness becomes the development of loitering ammunition. In recent years,the cloud computing technology is developing vigorously and applying widely in themilitary field, making it possible that large-scale groups loitering ammunition combatcooperatively. In order to deepen and expand the connotation of loitering ammunitionself-organizing net cooperative combat, the concept ‘cloud ammunition system’ is proposedinnovatively and an explicit definition is provided from the perspective of system science inthis dissertation. This dissertation will take loitering ammunition as the object of study tobuild the control architecture of cloud ammunition and achieve efficient dynamic resourcemanagement and real-time mass data processing with cloud computing technology.Meanwhile, it will use the network communication to exchange a lot of battlefield andtarget information and to achieve real-time information interaction. Further, cooperativecombat plan is made through the cloud ammunition systems to achieve the integratedcombat mode of loitering UAV groups with reconnaissance, attack and evaluation and toenhance the ability of cooperation combat and the hostile targets attack.In view of this, from the perspective of system science, this dissertation did anin-depth study on cloud ammunition system.Firstly, based on robustness, scalability, adaptability and other characteristics of thecloud ammunition system, combined with the advantages of centralized and distributedarchitecture, we build a collective and distributed architecture which is suitable for cloudammunition system. This dissertation generates subsystem gateway node via contract net,and uses the blackboard mechanism to achieve information interaction system structure. Ittakes LOCAAS as an example to analyze the scalable distributed architecture, andexpresses the system architecture and communication topology of cloud ammunitionsystem with the graph theory.Secondly, starting from the cooperative mechanism and the basic properties of thesystem, based on the description about the integrality and the organic-relatedness thefounders of general systems theory L.von Bertalanffy proposed, we figure out the integrality and the organic-relatedness of cloud ammunition system. Since the cloudammunition system could supply and repair itself, according to the stochastic processtheory and the method of supplementary variables, we build a system model based on statetransition for cloud ammunition system. For the further theoretical analysis, we translate thedifferential-integral model into Volterra integral equations which are convolution type todemonstrate the existence and uniqueness theorem of solutions of the system model. Inorder to analyze the stability and well-posedness of the system model, we translate themodel into an abstract Cauchy problem which is in Banach space and prove thewell-posedness theorem of system model using the C0semi-group theory. The integralityand organic-relatedness of system is demonstrated with the simulation analysis which takesthe consistent as the description of the integrality of system. Taking the loiteringammunition for attack as a combat unit, a simulation and analysis is carried out under thecombat task of cooperative search.Thirdly, on the basis of the description of the self-organizing behavior of cloudammunition system and motion control of consistent behavior, combined with artificialpotential field method and Boid model, we introduce the virtual gravity/repulsion to studythat how cloud ammunition system achieve self-organization and formation control indifferent communication topologies. Based on Lyapunov theory and LaSalle and unsmoothLaSalle invariant set theorem, we also prove stability theorem of cloud ammunition systemin different topologies. Finally, the description of stability range of the system is proposed.Simulation result shows that the swarm formation control strategy based on the theory ofconsistency could make the cloud ammunition system produce an effective synchronousswarm control behavior while avoiding the collision with other individuals around, whicheffectively implement the self-organizing formation of the cloud ammunition system.Finally, the cooperative behavior of cloud ammunition system is studied to reveal theevolution regularity when cloud ammunition system combats cooperatively. The evolutionof cooperative behavior of cloud ammunition systems, which is described with finite statemachine, can be regarded as a conversion process of a combat unit in different task states,using the rate equation for the probability analysis. Then, based on combat missions ofintegration of reconnaissance, attack, and damage effectiveness evaluation, we build the model of finite state machine based on behavior state transition. Solved with Runge-Kuttamethod, we obtain the dynamic characteristics of cloud ammunition system in theintegration combat. Through the modeling of cooperative combat behavior of cloudammunition system, we can analyze how the key technical quota of combat units impact onthe operational effectiveness of the system. This provides the necessary theoretical basis todesign and analyze the cooperative behavior of cloud ammunition system. |
