Objectives and Capabilities of the System of Systems Survivability Simulation (S4)

Abstract

This technical note documents the development of the System of Systems Survivability Simulation (S4) to date. The objective of S4 is to provide a survivability, lethality, and vulnerability (SLV) methodology that will support system-of-systems (SoS) analysis and the necessary transformation from a Forces-based, materiel-centric Cold War posture to a mission-centric, effects-based asymmetric warfare focus. S4 is focused on the collection of decision-making processes (DMPs) at all levels of the hierarchy and the time-varying interaction with information and knowledge that support the war-fighting capability.
