Abstract: Battlefield information sharing is the basis of acquiring information superiority to get decision and action superiority in information war。Aiming at the influence of information sharing on operational effectiveness, internal essence of the information sharing activity in information warfare was qualitatively descripted. By using operational network model which clearly reflects node's function and edge's type, the operational network with different information sharing degree was constructed, and the characteristic which depicts information sharing effectiveness was defined, and the influence law of information sharing degree on sharing effectiveness measurement indexes of operational network with simulation was analyzed. The simulation result validates that information sharing has positive effectiveness on improving operational effectiveness.

Key words: information warfare, complex networks, information sharing, operational network
