A Modeling Method for Command and Control Supemetworks Based on Hyperedge Generation Strategies

In the current command and control (C2) supernetwork model it is difficult to quantify and describe the complex relationships in C2 networks accurately. This paper presents a new modeling method for C2 supernetworks based on hypergraph theory. Firstly, a C2 supernetwork model with three layers and five networks is built. Secondly, the generation strategies for five types of hyperedges are given. Finally, we verify the feasibility and effectiveness of both the model and the method using a simulation of an air defense C2 network. The simulation results confirm that the model can reflect the complex relationships and characteristics present in a C2 network.
