Title
Parallel systems under two sequential attacks with contest intensity variation.
Abstract
Single and double attacks against a system of parallel elements are analyzed. The vulnerability of each element depends on an attacker-defender contest success function. The contest intensity may change from the first to the second attack as determined by a contest intensity variation factor. The defender allocates its resource between deploying elements to provide redundancy, and protecting each element. The attacker allocates its resource optimally across the two attacks, may attack a subset of the elements in the first attack, observes which elements are destroyed in the first attack, and attacks all surviving elements in the second attack. A minmax two period game is analyzed where the defender moves first and the attacker moves second. The paper shows how the contest intensity variation factor affects the defense and attack strategies.
