Order purpose statement

This Order establishes the following requirement guidelines for NAS Service Survivability:

a. Guidance for planning, provisioning and operation of critical NAS service threads and/orservice thread pairs to ensure they are resilient and survivable to degradations or failures in either the NAS system architecture or supporting infrastructure services, including inter-facility communications. Survivability is a subset of resiliency, which includes the service availability during and immediately after a service-impacting event.


b. Implementation requirements and a concept of operations (CONOPS) for NAS servicethreads to ensure that they are capable of fulfilling their mission in a timely manner in the presence of system or supporting infrastructure failures and accidents. This includes events that degrade service thread availability, such as:


(1)  Unpredictable catastrophic events (e.g., deliberate physical or cyber-attacks),

(2)  Natural phenomenon (e.g., weather event, earthquake, pandemics, etc.) or

(3)  Operational incidents (e.g., operational or procedural error and routing anomalies).
