The complex interdependencies between systems organized for a system-of-systems (SoS) capability pose a challenge to effective acquisition management of SoS assets. In general, methodologies to assess risk that cascades through interdependencies are critical to effectively analyzing alternatives in a capability-based acquisition strategy. A particular problem occurs in cases where requirements on systems are evolving. In this paper, a Bayesian Network (BN) method is presented, which models requirement evolution in the midst of system interdependencies. The method analyzes the cascading effects of requirement and systems interdependencies on risk. A primary output of the approach is the identification of both critical systems and requirements. A synthetic problem is solved to demonstrate the proposed method.
