Activities and trends in physical protection modeling with microcomputers
1985
Sandia National Laboratories developed several models in the mid to late 1970's including the Safeguards Automated Facility Evaluation (SAFE) method, the Estimate of Adversary Sequence Interruption (EASI), the Safeguards Network Analysis Procedure (SNAP), the Brief Adversary Threat Loss Estimator (BATLE), and others. These models were implemented on large computers such as the VAX 11/780 and the CDC machines. With the recent development and widespread use of the IBM PC and other microcomputers, it has become evident that several physical protection models should be made available for use on these microcomputers. currently, there are programs under way to convert the EASI, SNAP and BATLE models to the IBM PC. The input and analysis using the EASI model has been designed to be very user friendly through the utilization of menu driven options. The SNAP modeling technique will be converted to an IBM PC/AT with many enhancements to user friendliness. Graphical assistance for entering the model and reviewing traces of the simulated output are planned. The BATLE model is being converted to the IBM PC while preserving its interactive nature. The current status of these developments are reported in this paper. 6 refs., 2 figs.
