Evaluation on Credibility of Multi-Agent Warfare Simulation Model

It is a very important and urgent issue to provide an insight into different level complex battlefield behaviors in the future by using multi-agent warfare simulation method. However, current research on multi-agent warfare simulation lacks evaluation on credibility of simulation model. Based on analysis on case of simulation for multiple sensors on information battlefield, the fundamental process of evaluation on credibility of multi-agent warfare simulation model is proposed. The consistency of VV&A (verification, validation and accreditation) steps and modeling & simulation development process is demonstrated. The general approach of evaluation on credibility of multi-agent warfare simulation model is presented, including objective verification, conceptual model V&V, verification design, verification implement, federation validation, and acceptability accreditation. The research results show that the process and approach of evaluation on credibility of multi-agent warfare simulation model is general and can be used to give evaluation on credibility of multi-agent simulation model for other social systems.
