Abstract

This paper presents a modeling approach for mapping cyber defense issues with respect to heterogeneous networks; the research is devoted to develop an agent driven simulation environment able to analyze this problem considering different layers including CIS capabilities, operational issues, system architecture, management processes and human factors. The paper analyzes a specific case study to validate and verify the proposed modeling approach; the scenario is focused on an heterogeneous network applied to extended maritime environment including Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV), sensors, platforms, vessels, satellites and relevant military assets and threats. The present document uses this case study as example of System of Systems to be simulated including cyber warfare issues to evaluate their impact on operations.
