A weapon system of systems (WSoS) is a collection of interdependent systems providing multiple interdependent capabilities to support multiple tasks. In this paper, we propose a WSoS scheme generation method based on a granular analysis of a WSoS supernetwork. More precisely, we establish a WSoS supernetwork model based on a “network-centered” combat mode. Next, based on the theory of quotient space, a granular analysis is presented to reduce the complexity of the WSoS scheme generation. Then, the WSoS supernetwork is converted into a directed weighted network with multiple granularities, and an algorithm for the WSoS scheme generation based on the directed weighted network is presented. Consequently, each WSoS scheme corresponds to a path in the directed weighted network, and the capability of supporting the realization of a task by a WSoS can be analyzed based on the schemes. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed approach is demonstrated using an illustrative example.
