Development of an Interaction Simulator for the Scenario Analysis of Physical Protection Systems

Scenario analysis is used for the simulation of the physical protection system (PPS) by considering several credible intrusion and defense scenarios. A practical interaction simulator is developed for the scenario analysis of the PPS. The interaction simulator integrates all discrete subsystems of the PPS to form an intermodulation chain of intrusion-detection-response-interruption. Adversary intrusion strategies and defense strategies are regarded as knowledge bases in the interaction simulator. Moreover, agents in the simulator can graphically travel dynamically. Thus, this simulator is used to verify and validate the daily operation flows of each subsystem, applied for long-term management of intrusion consequences, and helped the relevant staffs for training and vulnerability analysis of the PPS.
