Survivability
  • A property of a system, subsystem, equipment, process, or procedure that provides a defined degree of assurance that the named entity will continue to function during and after a natural or man-made disturbance; e. g. , nuclear attack. Note: This term 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. See also communications system, continuous operation, electromagnetic survivability, endurability.
