Operation architecture plays a more important role in Network Centric Warfare (NCW), which involves dynamic operation networks with complex properties. Thus, it is essential to investigate the operation architecture under the informatization condition within NCW and find a proper network construction method to efficiently coordinate various functional modules on a particular situation, i.e., the aerial combat. A new method integrating the physical level and functional level of NCW is proposed to establish the operation architecture, where the concept of network operation constraints unit and net constructing mechanisms are employed to avoid conflicts among different platforms. Meanwhile, we conduct simulations to assess the effectiveness and feasibility of the constructed operation architecture and analyze the influence of the network parameters.

Influential nodes identification in complex networks is vital for understanding and controlling the propagation process in complex networks. Some existing centrality measures ignore the impacts of neighbor node. It is well-known that degree is a famous centrality measure for influential nodes identification, and the contributions of neighbors also should be taken into consideration. Furthermore, topological connections among neighbors will affect nodes' spreading ability, that is, the denser the connections among neighbors, the greater the chance of infection. In this paper, we propose a novel centrality, called DCC, to identify influential nodes by comprehensively considering degree and clustering coefficient as well as neighbors. The weights of degree and clustering coefficient are calculated by entropy technology. To verify the feasibility and effectiveness of DCC, the comparisons between DCC and other centrality measures in four aspects are conducted based on four real networks. The experimental results demonstrate that DCC is more effective in identifying influential nodes.

Distributed UCAV combat plays a much more important role in the future war. However, it contains many different combat units which may increase the complexity when executing the combat management. This paper addresses the problem of simplifying and re-building the structure of the distributed air combat, the traditional platform-combat mode is expanded to distributed-node-combat platform. Then we propose a modified GPGP(Generalized) method to solve the task coordination problem under air-to-air networked (ANA) mode, the extended contract net is put forward to resolute the conflict when the partial order relationship between different tasks are taken into account. the simulation results show that the proposed method is efficient in to complete the combat pre-planning.
