RAPAPORT (Resilience Assessment Process and Portfolio Option Reporting Tool): Background and Method
Abstract
Increasing the resilience of mission-essential functions enabled by space assets and their supporting infrastructure against disruption, degradation, and destruction is a stated goal of the National Space Policy of the United States of America. However, enhancing the resilience of U.S. space capabilities must occur in a financially constrained environment. The Air Force has tasked RAND with developing a framework for identifying effective and economically feasible on-materiel measures for increasing the resilience of its space assets. As part of that effort, RAND researchers conducted a review of industry methods for evaluating the materiel elements of space resilience and used concepts from those methods to develop a process for evaluating then on-materiel resilience of a system. The process and tool we developed (Resilience Assessment Process and Portfolio Option Reporting Tool, or RAPAPORT) have broad applications to any organization seeking to enhance resilience, as well as to those specifically in the space community.
