Research on modular force grouping model based on operational capability

Abstract

In order to solve the problem of scientificity and efficiency of force grouping in joint operational planning, a nonlinear method of generating polymeric operational capability from combative element capability is proposed, and a force grouping relationship of "operational subtasks to polymeric operational capability to combative meta-capabilities to battalion combative units" is established. And a modular force grouping model at the joint operational level with multiple optimized targets and multiple constraints is constructed based on the matching of supplying and demanded vectors of operational capability. A model solving framework based on genetic algorithm is proposed, and the processes and methods of coding decided variable, calculating adaptive value and decoding chromosome of the force grouping are explained. Experiments show that the modular force grouping model based on the matching of operational capability can accurately and efficiently group battalion combative units to meet the needs of operational tasks.
