Cluster-Based Redundancy Configuration Model for System-Of-Systems

In the context of high-intensity warfare, our combat System-of –Systems (SOS) consistently grapples with interference and attacks from the enemy. The implementation of redundancy within the combat SOS stands out as a pivotal approach to bolster its resilience. This paper introduces a method grounded in network modeling for combat SOS. It puts forth a redundant configuration strategy for SOS members, employing a cluster-based approach. This entails the segmentation of SOS members into multiple clusters, the establishment of Cluster-Based Redundancy Configuration Model for System-of-Systems (CBRCM), and the formulation of a scheduling strategy for cluster redundancy based on the criticality assessment of SOS members. Through simulation analyses encompassing scenarios of both random and intentional attacks on combat SOS, this paper substantiates the efficacy of the proposed redundant configuration model in evaluating alterations in SOS capabilities.
