the level of tolerable uncertainty is extended past that of robust design techniques<br />

alone.<br />

In <strong>Chapter</strong> Six, the PT, RPT and RPTT methodologies are applied to a high-<br />

fidelity integrated model of a structurally-connected interferometer architecture for<br />

TPF. Appropriate tuning, tailoring and uncertainty parameters are identified, and<br />

the design methodologies are demonstrated. Trends similar to those exhibited by the<br />

development model are observed. Limitations of the optimizations algorithms are<br />

identified and recommendations for increasing computational efficiency are made.<br />

Finally, in <strong>Chapter</strong> 7 the thesis contributions are highlighted and recommenda-<br />

tions for future work are enumerated.<br />
