ENGINEERING In Engineering , survivability is the quantified ability of a System , subsystem, equipment, process, or procedure to continue to function during and after a natural or man-made disturbance; e.g. nuclear Electromagnetic Pulse from the detonation of a Nuclear Weapon . For a given application, survivability must be qualified by specifying the range of conditions over which the entity will survive, the minimum acceptable level or post-disturbance functionality, and the maximum acceptable Outage Duration . Federal Standard 1037C in support of MIL-STD-188 MILITARY SURVIVABILITY In the military environment Survivability comprises three elements:
Recoverability is sometime expressed as a subset of vulnerability. NETWORK "The capability of a system to fulfill its mission, in a timely manner, in the presence of Threats such as attacks or large-scale natural disasters. Survivability is a subset of Resilience ."The ResiliNets Research Initiative definition of survivability.Abdul Jabbar Mohammad, David Hutchison, and James P.G.
