ABSTRACT

The paper highlights the theory of complex networks, and proposes an evolutionary model to solve the evolutionary problem of equipment maintenance support force systems, which has provided partial information. Firstly, the paper applied equipment maintenance support force systems into complex networks, and defined six network parameters. Secondly, the network evolutionary steps are described. Finally, a dynamic evolutionary model whose parameters can be flexibly set, was used as the test object. The paper discusses various network parameters under three kinds of selection probability. The parameter values demonstrated feasibility of the evolutionary model, and illustrated that the model can provide auxiliary decision for commanders to develop support programs in the pre-war.
