Systems-of-systems enterprise architecture CONOPS assessment approach and preliminary results

Abstract

This paper provides (i) an overview of a proposed Systems-of-Systems Enterprise Architecture (SOSEA) CONOPS (Concept of Operations) framework and associated resiliency models, (ii) a summary of the work done by CSUF Graduate Student Team (GST) on the implementation of the framework and advanced mathematical modeling effort for Matlab modeling of the resiliency models, and (iii) preliminary simulations results obtained by CSUF-GST for notional SATOPS and SATCOM SOSEA CONOPS use cases. The key achievements of the CSUF-GST include SOSEA databases for civilian, commercial, and military space and ground systems, orbital dynamics models for simulating SOSEA space systems and ground networks, simplified dynamic communication link margin and availability, and Matlab models for Resilience Assessment Index (RAI), Spectrum Resiliency Assessment Index (SRAI) and Resilient Capacity models against intentional and un-intentional Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) sources.
