Efficiency Analysis of Command Networks with Different Cross-Level

Abstract:

With the increasing requirement on flattening the hierarchical structure of the military command networks, this paper studied the efficiency of the cross-level command style which is one of the most way to flatten current structure. We present a cross-level command model based on the tree network. According with it, we focused on two measurements, timeliness and invulnerability, to evaluate the command networks on different cross-level by the simulation experiments. Compared the results under two styles of attack strategies, the random attack and selecting attack, it showed that the new command networks with different cross-level are more efficient.
