Level up mission rehearsal using network modeling software
Mission rehearsal requires an understanding of the dynamics of network elements and how they influence cyber situational awareness. Comprehensive modeling and simulation platforms integrate detailed propagation models, signal transmission simulations, and a vast library of cyberattack and defense models. Cyber warfighters use these modeling platforms to construct and analyze complex wired and wireless communication networks, including cellular, enterprise, and battlefield. They do this by mapping logical network elements to physical scenarios, considering factors like terrain type, frequency bands, and signal strengths.
Cyber warfighters then create network models to simulate real-world mission conditions. These models monitor and analyze control plane and data plane messaging, visualize network traffic patterns, and evaluate critical network element resilience. They can also examine global and localized impacts of cyber threats, get insights into network vulnerabilities, and assess operational and defense strategies, especially in contested environments.
