ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the design process and the associated tools used to create resilient space systems. Trades between performance, cost, and resilience are discussed as well as the implications of using one threat mitigation technique versus another. The incorporation of resilient design into the systems engineering process is examined as well as other related design considerations. Balancing the use of protection features against the distribution of capability is studied and certain relationships are developed to aid in architectural trade studies. The various methods of distributing capability are covered, including uniform versus non-uniform distribution and distribution versus proliferation. Finally, the overlay of cost is considered as the third parameter in the design trade.
