Vulnerability Risk Assessment

Abstract

This report describes a methodology that provides a practical and simple process for applying classical risk analysis/assessment theory to the vulnerability analysis/assessment of military systems in particular and generally to any hazard analysis desired. It applies to both weapon effects and countermeasure effects equivalently as well as to operational environment effects (natural and man-made), for the first time providing system analysts with a common/unified vulnerability assessment methodology for these diverse areas. This new vulnerability risk analysis/assessment methodology also identifies and corrects procedural errors in the traditional hazard risk analysis charts used for safety/health and many other risk assessment programs.
