POST: a subroutine for Path Ordering of Sabotage Targets

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5352881
POST is a subroutine which a safeguards analyst may use to find multiple-target sabotage paths through a fixed-site facility. This subroutine accepts the same weighted digraph facility model as does ADPATH, the single-target adversary path code. Given a list of potential starting nodes and a list of one set of target nodes together with their respective guard-response times, POST computes an adversary's minimum interruption probability path. This path begins at one of the starting nodes and passes through all of the given target nodes in such a way as to minmize the adversary's probability of being detected while the guards still have time to respond to an alarm and interrupt the sabotage. 5 refs., 2 figs., 1 tab.
