C2 Twin Network and Full Lifecycle Management for Intelligent Warfare

Abstract

AbstractWith the widespread application of artificial intelligence in military fields, intelligent warfare is increasingly becoming the focus of attention. Information warfare is developing in-depth and beginning to emerge in today’s era. The militaries of major countries in the world, led by the US military, have vigorously promoted military intelligence. The command and control digital twin network (C2DTN) for intelligent warfare is to apply the digital twin (DT) technology and the full lifecycle management to C2 networks. Meanwhile, a virtual twin of physical network entities is digitally constructed, and a network system for real-time interactive mapping with physical network entities is constructed. This paper first expounds on the related research progress of DT in military fields, then gives the basic models of the C2DTN, and analyzes the model-based full lifecycle management technology. Therefore, in the full lifecycle of the C2 network “planning, construction, maintenance and optimization”, the network model of refined management is realized.KeywordsCommand and control digital twin networksNetwork modelFull lifecycle management
