Real-Time Evaluation of Cyber-Course of Action (COA) Impact on Performance & Effectiveness

Abstract

A fundamental challenge for modern Battle Management/Command, Control, and Communications (BMC3) systems is to withstand attacks against their constituent computer and communication subsystems. However, measures to safeguard or respond to a cyber attack against a BMC3 system, invariably disrupt the processing flow within that system. Thus disruptions may ultimately affect mission effectiveness, and a prudent strategy is to predict those impacts before committing to a specific response or safeguard. The objective of this work is to develop reliable methods for generating cyber Courses of Action (cyber-COAs) in near-real time.
