DTIC ADA250036: A Taxonomy for the Vulnerability/Lethality Analysis Process

An important aspect of the formulation of any scientific process is the definition of the mathematical framework within which that process is considered. It is quite common for analytical processes to evolve over a long period of time before the underlying mathematics are fully understood and illuminated. This is the case with Vulnerability/Lethality (V/L) analyses, long considered more an art than a science. This paper defines a mathematical framework for V/L analyses, demonstrates how each part of a well-known process fits into this framework, and to identify parts of this analytical process which are in error and/or require additional research. It is shown that this taxonomy allows a rational scientific approach to the V/L analysis process.
