This presentation delves into the optimization of survivability metrics. The term “survivability,” synonymous with effectiveness and capability, is underscored by US legislation, including US CFR Title 10 Section 2366, which mandates realistic threat-based testing for surface ships and submarines.
Naval ships, considered as systems of systems, present intricate engineering challenges characterized by fragmented design information, diverse analytical systems, and varying levels of accuracy. Survivability is reliant on integrated systems and design cohesion. The backbone of survivability relies internally, on resilient communications and infrastructure design, and externally, on the ability to communicate and coordinate with the joint forces.
Graph Theory proves essential in comprehending networked, distributed, and interdependent systems. By introducing visual nodal concepts and quantifying connectivity and interdependence, it becomes pivotal in shaping architectural features like robustness (survivability).
The application of “clustering” in physical systems analysis, driven by Graph and Percolation theory, emerges as a determinant of survivability. System topology tracks the evolution of interactions, especially during subsystem breakdowns.
Survivability, from system distribution analysis, depends on early architectural decisions, facilitating informed choices among alternatives. Robustness becomes evident, offering clarity to decision-makers seeking to optimize warship survivability. This paper contributes insights into warship survivability through a structured Network Theory analysis.
