Establishing Reasons and Basic Framework for System of National Security and Safety Systems Science
Modernizing China's system of national security and safety systems is a significant strategic undertaking within the holistic national security and safety framework.The endeavor to modernize this system-of-systems necessitates systematic and profound research from the academic community,focused on the intricacies of the system of national security and safety systems.From the perspective of system-of-systems engineering,modernizing the system of national security and safety systems is a typical system-of-systems engineering project.Therefore,it is necessary and crucial to construct the System of National Security and Safety Systems Science(SNSSS)in the cross-field of national security and safety science and system-of-systems engineering.SNSSS has the potential to offer specialized disciplinary support for modernizing the system of national security and safety systems.SNSSS,based on a holistic approach to national security and safety and oriented towards the modernization of the system of national security and safety systems,is a new discipline specializing in the study of national security and safety from the system-of-systems level.It represents the theoretical construction of a new stage in the development of national security and safety thinking.Overall,it is the right time to carry out research on the creation of SNSSS.SNSSS is an emerging interdisciplinary discipline that originates from the system-of-systems characteristics of national security and safety.It takes the fundamental premise that"the system of national security and safety systems is a comprehensive integration of numerous component systems,constituting a typical system-of-systems."Guided by a holistic approach to national security and safety embedded with system-of-systems thinking,SNSSS focuses its research on the system of national security and safety systems.The discipline examines theories,methodologies,technologies,and their practical applications pertaining to the system of national security and safety systems,encompassing aspects such as requirements analysis,architectural design,integration and construction,capability generation,development and evolution,analysis and evaluation,and improvement and optimization.Drawing upon national security and safety science and system-of-systems engineering as its disciplinary foundation,SNSSS utilizes system-of-systems engineering methodology as its research methodology.Ultimately,its research aims to enhance the soundness of the system of national security and safety systems and facilitate the modernization of this complex system-of-systems,positioning it as a comprehensive and cutting-edge discipline.The study of SNSSS should prioritize six crucial aspects:the overarching architecture,construction standards,technological support,capacity development,evolutionary patterns,and collaborative governance of the system of national security and safety systems.Based on the theoretical chain of'core concept of discipline-theoretical foundation of discipline-theory of discipline-methodology of discipline-technology of discipline-practice of discipline-problem orientation of discipline',and drawing on system-of-systems engineering theory,methodology,and technology,this study constructs a basic framework for SNSSS,which can provide overall reference and guidance for the research and development of SNSSS.
