SMC-S-014 (2010), AFSC SPACE AND MISSILE SYSTEMS CENTER
STANDARD: SURVIVABILITY PROGRAM MANAGEMENT FOR SPACE (19-JUL-2010) [SUPERSEDING SMC-S-014 (2008)]., This revised SMC standard comprises the text of The Aerospace Corporation report TOE-2008(8583)-8164, Rev. A., entitled Survivability Program Management for Space. This document defines fundamental survivability program management requirements for the system
acquisition life-cycle. As a management standard, this document requires that the contractor shall:
a. Identify the hardness allocations to the building blocks that make up a survivability program for each
design concept.
b. Describe how these basic elements are integrated into concurrent activities and disciplines within a
contractor’s overall hardware program.
c. Draft and establish a survivability program and set up the necessary infrastructure to sustain it and to
effectively carry out the prescribed survivability tasks.
d. Identify the necessary order and sequence for timely execution of all tasks in a survivability program
plan (SPP) including review of the vulnerability assessment.
The technical aspects of survivability, as well as methodology for implementation, shall be detailed in the
contractor’s survivability and vulnerability program plan (SVPP). Therefore, this document should
facilitate the establishment of an efficient and effective survivability engineering program that is an
integral part of a contractor’s systems engineering organization.
