A fidelity framework for small arms combat
Proceedings - International Carnahan Conference on Security Technology
Modelling and simulation (Mod-Sim) tools are becoming a crucial component in the design and evaluation of cyber and physical security systems. Many Mod-Sim tools exist for the elucidation of attack scenarios, characterization of facility vulnerabilities, and the construction and maintenance of optimal protection systems. The growing use of Mod-Sim tools for assessment of physical and cyber security systems necessitates a consistency in the existence of requirements and in the definitions of use for the models defined within a simulation. There are currently many Mod-Sim software tools available for use in characterizing various combat, physical, and cyber security scenarios. Even with the existence of a glossary distributed by the Modeling and Simulation Information Analysis Center-U.S. Department of Defense, there is a lack of requirement specifications and definitions for many of the terms and processes used in the modelling and simulation field. A more meaningful understanding for the construction of useful analyses is needed. It is critical that requirements, definitions, and processes be clearly identified and agreed upon before undertaking any effort to establish an analysis tool. In so doing, more cost effective model and simulation tools can then be developed that will produce scenarios, environments, and execution models that provide more a meaningful analyses of interest. In this paper, we will define the term fidelity and we will show how to consistently and appropriately apply the term to models that are used in simulation. Our intent is to develop a boundary for the meaning so that it can be used as a definitive basis with which to assess how well a model, and its function within a scenario, satisfies the end goal of answering the appropriate questions for which the scenario and simulation were constructed. Fidelity will be derived from various aspects of a model's purpose within a given simulation including the level of required interactivity amongst entities, the need to be realistic, and the complexity of the model. Many of the concepts from Object-Oriented programming have been leveraged to help identify required characteristics and interaction requirements of a core set of models that are deemed essential as a basis for all small arms combat scenarios. We will also demonstrate how our framework can be applied and extended to other cyber and physical security scenarios in an attempt to provide a fundamental construction methodology for all Mod-Sim efforts.

Analysis to determine the maximum dimensions of flexible apertures in sensored security netting products
Although technological advances provide new capabilities to increase the robustness of security systems, they also potentially introduce new vulnerabilities. New capability sometimes requires new performance requirements. This paper outlines an approach to establishing a key performance requirement for an emerging intrusion detection sensor: the sensored net. Throughout the security industry, the commonly adopted standard for maximum opening size through barriers is a requirement based on square inches
