Abstract This introductory chapter articulates the topics of critical infrastructure , key resources , and key assets (CIKRKA). The aim is to offer the reader a clear definition of the notions, explain their relevance and the need to develop intelligible and robust models to diagnose and predict risks, vulnerability , resilience , fragility , and perception. The chapter reveals space, undersea, and belowground as three privileged sectors of human endeavor were critical infrastructures, resources and assets coexist in the guise of complex systems that tend to assume a leading position in the overall, global CIKRKA system of systems. This chapters sets the stage for the reminder of the book.
