Abstract

Cyber Attacks on physical asset impacts the missions the asset performs. To determine how the resources of an asset are affected by various cyber attacks and to assess the impact on mission performance due to the asset’s condition, modeling & simulation technology can be utilized. Many studies on mission impact analysis due to cyber warfare have been conducted, primarily in the United States. Existing research provides frameworks and methodologies to capture how and to what extent cyber attacks impact critical missions. However, it lacks specificity in the construction of models representing the mission and cyber environment, as well as in the relationships between these models. To overcome these limitations, it is necessary to develop simulation logic and modeling for cyber attacks and mission models. In addition, it is necessary to classify from assets to mission systems by hierarchy, define the connections between the hierarchies, and develop the propagation of damage across these hierarchies. This paper proposes a simulation method for a model that can evaluate mission system damage caused by cyber attacks using inter-hierarchical dependencies, and presents a method for implementing a model for mission impact assessment due to cyber warfare. The model implemented according to the proposed method is also presented. The model proposed in this paper was tested on three types of mission systems as a pilot study. It is expected to quantitatively analyze mission damage assessments due to cyber attacks on various military mission systems in the future.
