SYNAPSE: Reducing Coordination Risk as Fleets Scale
Abstract
Fleet redundancy does not eliminate coordination risk. This paper presents the analytical basis for coordination risk as an independent failure category and results from an 89-run validation campaign demonstrating that distributed coordination authority maintains operational continuity under conditions where centralized coordination halts. Measured convergence advantages range from 1.33x to 1.80x across six operational scenarios, with all comparisons statistically significant (p < 0.002, Cohen's d > 5). At the base case of 100 satellites, SYNAPSE reduces total annualized coordination costs by 21%.
