Complex Network-Based Decision-Making Analysis of Strikes on Important Nodes of a Typical Kill Chain

Maritime kill chain constitutes an indispensable part in the maritime combat system in today’s world. It has always been an important research issue to figure out the weaknesses of the opponent’s maritime kill chain and combat its operation. This paper firstly builds a typical maritime kill chain on its basis, and analyzes the typical foreign maritime kill chain by applying complex network theory. By virtue of graph theory and the Network library in Python software for network analysis, and the graph theory and network analysis are applied through the Network library in Python software to comprehensively analyze the assessment results, rank the importance of the kill chain nodes, and the suggestions are put forward to strengthen the construction of the kill chain. The purpose of this paper is to work out the weaknesses of the kill chain and provide ideas for possible future actions to attack the kill chain.
