Zusammenfassung: | This volume outlines the role of survivability as it evolves over the system life cycle as an integral part of the systems engineering process. The topic is especially pertinent today because emerging technologies are revealing unprecedented opportunities for bringing new and improved systems and products into being that will be more competitive in the private and public sectors worldwide. These technologies are expanding physically realizable design options and enhancing cost-effective capabilities. The purpose of design and analysis engineering activities is to determine how physical factors may be altered to create the most utility for the least cost. The objective is to design the system to minimize losses when it operates in a manmade hostile environment. Designing to meet survivability requirements means considering an optimum mix of susceptibility and vulnerability designs for low susceptibility and low vulnerability. The goal is to develop and demonstrate protection technologies required to ensure survivable operation of warfighting assets in both the natural space environment and the hostile warfighting environment. Specifically, the survivability program evaluates through high-fidelity subsystem and system models the effects of the threats on U.S. and allied systems, and then develops and demonstrates the efficacy of multithreat protection techniques against those threats.
