According to the hierarchical structure of command and control network and the characteristics of hypernetwork such as heterogeneous nodes and multiple links, a hierarchical evolution model of command and control network based on hypernetwork is established. Considering the nonuniqueness of the number and frequency of new joining nodes in different layers, a different number of new joining nodes are set in different layers, and the frequency of new joining nodes in each layer is set. A K(Mn+1) strategy of hierarchical joining of nodes is proposed. The theoretical derivation and simulation prove that the network model has scale-free characteristics. The simulation analysis of different measurement indicators shows that the hierarchical command and control hypernetwork has higher command efficiency, better connectivity between nodes, and stronger reliability of organizational structure.
