Conversion of MICOM, Time-Phased, Life-Cycle Cost-Estimating Model from COBOL to FORTRAN IV

Abstract

LICEM is a computer model which may be used to generate Time-Phased Life-Cycle Cost Estimates (LCCE) for personnel or materiel systems. The input to this model is in a form compatible with the Army Materiel Command's Improved Cost Estimating Project, Phase III (ICE-III). The cost for a system can be computed for as many as thirty equal increments of time, and can be summarized in up to nine levels of complexity. The model estimates a system cost for each time increment as well as the total cost over the life of the system. The model is written in FORTRAN IV specifically for the Ballistic Research Laboratories' Electronic Scientific Computer (BRLESC).
