Cost Estimating Relationships for Machine Guns, Theoretical First Unit Cost.

Abstract

Cost estimating relationships (CER's) for predicting the theoretical first unit cost of single barrel machine gun type weapons during the investment recurring phase of a weapon's life cycle are discussed in this study. Physical and performance characteristics regarded as 'cost drivers' were selected as independent variables. Two CER's are presented in order of decreasing 'goodness of fit', and exhibit a correlation at a ten percent level (F-test) or better. (Author)
