expendability

Example:This design focuses on modular expendability to ensure the system remains robust even if some components fail.

Definition:The characteristic allowing a system to continue functioning even if one of its modules fails or is removed.

Example:The new communication satellite is designed with operational expendability in mind to minimize disruption in case of failure.

Definition:The ability of a system to continue performing critical functions after the loss or removal of certain components.

Example:The space probe has been built with mission expendability in mind, allowing it to continue its mission despite minor hardware failures.

Definition:The capability for a system to perform its primary mission objectives even in the absence of some of its components.
