Abstract

Automated planning was proposed for military system-of-systems vulnerability analysis. Goal, capability, state and action were used as the conceptual framework for military system-of-systems description. Vulnerability analysis was reduced to problems concerning goal reachability and every-possible plan generation. A modification was made to the search strategy of graph planning algorithm. In the new algorithm, search in and/or graph is transformed to depth-first search in a tree with goals and actions as its nodes. The algorithm is capable of generating a complete set of courses of action in the sense of expelling all redundancy actions. Correctness and completeness of the algorithm were proved. The algorithm is efficient when both the number of actions and the number of preconditions of actions are small.An analysis example shows that this method is feasible for system-of-systems vulnerability analysis. But further research should be conducted to limit search space of large scale problems by applying additional constraints.
