Evaluating battle damage after conducting an attack on selected targets during warfare is essential. However, regarding the assessment of battle damage caused by cyber-attacks, some methods available under limited circumstances have been suggested so far. Accordingly, this paper suggests a militarily applicable, comprehensive, and specific method of battle damage assessment from battle damage assessment methods in combat assessment theories from the understanding of cyberspace. By using cyberspace components, this paper classifies cyber targets, suggests the assessment methods of data damage, social cognitive damage, derived damage, and the existing battle damage assessment methods such as physical damage, functional damage, and target systems, and provides an example to demonstrate that this method is applicable to the actual past cyberattack cases.

This paper proposes a framework for the battle damage assessment (BDA) of electronic warfare linked to cyber warfare. Thanks to the rapid development of information and communication technology, the importance of cyber warfare and electronic warfare in cyberspace is increasing. Therefore, the BDA for cyber warfare and its associated electronic warfare in cyberspace is an important factor that affects the success or failure of military operations. In this paper, we propose a method to calculate measure of performance and measure of effectiveness by classifying the electronic warfare system into large / medium / small classes according to the type of electronic warfare. By setting up a hypothetical scenario, we show the effectiveness of the proposed framework.

In recent years, the cyber attack has become a universal phenomenon, and the attacks in cyberspace are regarded as a kind of war, cyber-warfare. However, cyber-warfare is difficult to identify the damage caused by the attack. In order to effectively evaluate the damage to the attack that may occur in the cyber-warfare, this paper describes the damage evaluation simulation of the cyber-warfare based on DEVSim++, which can calculate the damage to the cyber attack using the MOCE (Measure of Cyber Effectiveness). Also, in order to help the commander in the cyber Command&Control phase, the number of victims by attack classification is expressed in the form of Venn diagram.

Cyber Mission Impact Assessment is one of the essential tasks which many militaries and industrial major companies should perform to effectively achieve their mission. The unexpected damage to an organization's assets results in damage to the whole system's performance of the organizations. In order to minimize the damage, it is necessary to quantify the available capacity of the mission, which can be achieved only with the remaining assets, and to immediately prepare a new second best plan in a moment. We therefore need to estimate the exact cyber attack's impact to the mission when the unwanted damage occurs by modeling the relationship between the assets and the missions. In this paper, we propose a new model which deals with the dependencies between assets and missions for obtaining the exact impact of a cyber attack. The proposed model distinguishes task management from asset management for an efficient process, and it is implemented to be optimized using a vectorized operation for parallel processing and using a buffer to reduce the computation time.

Due to the expansion of cyber space, war patterns are also changing from traditional warfare to cyber warfare. Cyber warfare is the use of computer technology to disrupt the activities of nations and organizations, especially in the defense sector. However, the defense against effective cyber threat environment is inadequate. To complement this, a new cyber warfare operation concept is needed. In this paper, we study the concepts of cyber intelligence surveillance reconnaissance, active defense and response, combat damage assessment, and command control in order to carry out cyber operations effectively. In addition, this paper proposes the concept of cyber warfare operation that can achieve a continuous strategic advantage in cyber battlefield.

정보통신 기술의 발전으로 개인뿐만 아니라 경제, 행정, 국방 등 사회 전반에서 사이버 공간의 중요성이 대두되고 있다. 특히 국방부에서는 사이버 관련 공격들에 관한 피해를 평가하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 사이버 전투 피해평가 프레임워크를 제안한다. 사이버 전투 피해평가 프레임워크는 아군이 사이버 공격에 의해 피해를 입은 뒤 지휘 통제실에게 아군의 피해를 알리고 장비의 손상도는 얼마인지 작전에 이상을 미치는 영향은 얼마인지 계산하여 제공한다. 본 프레임워크를 사용하면 현 상황을 아군의 사령부가 파악할 수 있게 되어 지휘 결심을 하는데 도움을 주어서 작전을 성공 시킬 수 있게 도와준다.

As operations that were only conducted in physical space in the past change to operations that include cyberspace, it is necessary to analyze how cyber attacks affect weapon systems using cyber systems. For this purpose, it would be meaningful to analyze a tool that analyzes the effects of physical weapon systems in connection with cyber. The ROK military has secured and is operating the US JMEM, which contains the results of analyzing the effects of physical weapon systems. JMEM is applied only to conventional weapon systems, so it is impossible to analyze the impact of cyber weapon systems. In this study, based on the previously conducted cyber attack damage assessment framework, a framework for analyzing the impact of cyber attacks on physical missions was presented. To this end, based on the MOE and MOP of physical warfare, a cyber index for the analysis of cyber weapon system effectiveness was calculated. In addition, in conjunction with JMEM, which is used as a weapon system effect manual in physical operations, a framework was designed and tested to determine the mission impact by comparing and analyzing the results of the battle in cyberspace with the effects of physical operations. In order to prove the proposed framework, we analyzed and designed operational scenarios through domestic and foreign military manuals and previous studies, defined assets, and conducted experiments. As a result of the experiment, the larger the decrease in the cyber mission effect value, the greater the effect on physical operations. It can be used to predict the impact of physical operations caused by cyber attacks in various operations, and it will help the battlefield commander to make quick decisions.
