Resource Exhaustion or Contention
Description
| Vector | Illustrative Application |
|---|---|
| Collect | If the objective is Collect, an adversary could gradually consume processing capacity or electrical power to monitor and identify system thresholds, automated responses, and operator procedures. |
| Pivot | If the objective is Pivot, an adversary could deliberately deplete propellant to provoke a close-proximity inspection and create an otherwise unavailable attack path or proximity window for operations against the inspecting spacecraft. |
| Subvert | TIf the objective is Subvert, an adversary could consume processor capacity or electrical power until legitimate mission functions operate below required performance. |
| Seize | If the objective is Seize, an adversary could monopolize command-processing or payload resources to exclude the legitimate operator and reserve the capability for unauthorized use. |
| Disable | If the objective is Disable, an adversary could exhaust propellant or another mission-critical consumable until the spacecraft can no longer perform its intended mission or an essential mission function. |

Mappings
No mappings have been made here yet. That is a statement about this corpus, not about the law: it means curation has not reached this entity, not that nothing applies to it.
No ruling has been recorded either way.
Cite as SafeMode Space, IMP-0013 (SPARTA v4.0), https://safemode.space/reference/techniques/imp-0013, accessed YYYY-MM-DD. Replace YYYY-MM-DD with the date you read the page; the corpus is curated continuously, so mappings can change between readings. To cite one mapping rather than this page, append its anchor to the URL — every mapping row has an id of the form technique--collection--target, the same on every page that lists it. See how to cite.
