Abstract:

The intelligence level of virtual forces is a key factor affecting the credibility and effectiveness of tactical confrontation simulations. To address the current lack of a testing and evaluation system, a method for testing and evaluating the intelligence level of virtual forces based on operational experiments is proposed. Guided by operational experiment theory, the method stimulates the intelligent behavior of virtual forces by constructing dynamic confrontation environments, and collects, calculates, analyzes, and evaluates their intelligence performance data according to a systematic process. The overall architecture, logical functional modules, and basic evaluation process of the method are designed. A "4M" baseline evaluation index system is conducted, covering task completion effectiveness, cognitive effectiveness, cognitive adaptability, and cognitive efficiency, along with a nine-level intelligence level model. The applicability of three typical evaluation experiment implementation modes is analyzed and compared. A case study demonstrates the method's application.
