First, in order to generate the capability indexes of shipborne in the capability requirement generation process, the threatening task of shipborne is decomposed, a capability index system is built, the analytic rules between the meta tasks and the capability indexes are analyzed. Second, in the background of area air defense of single shipborne ship-to-air missile, the corresponding mathematical models are established according to the steps of operational process, and with relation graph, the capability indexes, including killing zone boundaries, launching zone boundaries, anterior distance and height of airborne early warning aircraft, warning distance, etc., are verified in simulation on the basis of operational requirements and other factors between ourselves and the enemy. Finally, the interval numerical values are produced by analyzing the impact of the required detection distance and speed upon combat capability indexes, which provides a quantitative basis for combat capability requirement generation of shipborne area air defense.
