Resilience: Effective in a wide range of situations,
readily adaptable to others through reconfiguration or replacement,
with graceful and detectable degradation of function
1 - Affordable via faster eng., less rework
2 - Effective
via better informed
design decision

4. Engineered Resilient Systems:
Needs and Technology Issues
Creating & fielding affordable, effective systems entails:
• Deep trade-off analyses across mission contexts
• Adaptability, effectiveness and affordability in the trade-space
• Maintained for life
• More informative requirements
• Well-founded requirements refinement
• More alternatives, maintained longer
Doing so quickly and adaptably requires new technology:
• Models with representational richness
• Learning about operational context
• Uncertainty- and Risk- based tools
Starting point: Model- and Platform- based engineering

Challenges and Opportunities
• Dynamic threats and missions outstripping our ability to specify,
design and build responsive systems (IEDs, electronic warfare)
• New concepts of operations not discovered until late in design, or
until operational test (Longbow lock-on after launch)
• “Small” engineering changes with unintended consequences (F18)
• Suboptimal trades in performance, reliability, maintainability,
affordability, schedule (MRAP, FCS)

28. Issues in Building an Engineered
Resilient Systems S&T Community
• Complex integration across many technologies:
– Interdisciplinary across air, land, sea for electromechanical systems
with embedded control computational capabilities
– Spans the engineering lifecycle: Concept engineering and analysis,
Design & Prototyping, Development, Production, Sustainment
– New tools, methods, paradigms:
Linking engineers, decisionmakers, other stakeholders
– Addressing product robustness, engineers’ productivity,
and systemic retention of options
• Nascent, emerging ties to basic science, e.g.:
– Computational Approximate Representations:
Can’t get all engineering tools talking same language
– Mathematics and Computational Science of Complexity:
Can’t look at every engineering issue, need aids to determine focus
– Mathematics and Cognitive Science of Risk, Sensitivity, and Confidence:
Need decision aids for understanding implications of trades, committing $
