Software Project Summary

CyBDAT

Cyber Battle Damage Assessment Toolkit supports structured comparison of cyber and kinetic courses of action so mission planners can connect technical effects to operational choices.

Capabilities

Battle Damage Assessment

Frames effects in mission-relevant terms.

COA Comparison

Supports comparison of courses of action.

Mission Planning

Helps planners reason through operational options.

Cyber/Kinetic Tradeoffs

Connects technical effects to operational tradeoffs.

Project Overview

Mission Need

Compare operational effects across attack options.

Commanders and analysts need ways to compare cyber and kinetic options against the same mission objective with a shared decision framework.

What It Does

Structures cyber battle damage assessment.

CyBDAT uses testbed-derived data, cyber-physical modeling, and multi-criteria decision methods to evaluate alternatives and expected effects in mission context.

Why It Matters

Clarifies tradeoffs for mission planners.

The toolkit helps planners communicate options, weigh tradeoffs, and connect technical cyber effects to operational outcomes.

Workflow

  1. Mission Objective
  2. COA Comparison
  3. Battle Damage Insight
