Abstract

In the world today, because of many social and military unrests and different kinds of critical points and military bases, the issue of potential and actual threats are very important in the strategic plan of the most of countries. Attacking critical infrastructures and industries is one of the very operative aggressive tools for debilitating countries as military targets. Therefore critical infrastructure security and vulnerability reduction are described in article one and two of the legislative plan of passive defense organization in our country. So, recognizing the general vulnerability indexes of industrial complexes is the main purpose of this paper. In order to reach this purpose content analysis method and numerical taxonomy system are used in this research. The general vulnerability concept is classified in three dimensions of special planning, structural aspect of industrial complexes and the ability of detection of them from the adversary point of view. This article will be ended in identification of vulnerability indexes through description of these dimension and effective components on vulnerability.
