LEADTIMES FOR DEVELOPMENT OF GUIDED MISSILES

Abstract

This technical report is an analysis of data on missile system leadtimes. The report does not purport to explain specifically--system by system--why leadtimes vary and estimating errors exist, nor does it pretend to categorize the estimating errors as preventable or not preventable. The general causes of errors in estimating are discussed, but this report does not link specific cause and effect in the discussion of estimating errors. Much has been learned about the nature of the leadtime measurement problem.
