Cost Analysis of Avionics Equipment.
Abstract
The report addresses the problem of predicting the development, production, and logistic support cost of avionics equipment well before a detailed description of its physical makeup is known. The approach was to derive parametric cost estimating relationships (CERs) for four types of avionics subsystems: fire control radars, inertial navigators, digital computers, and doppler navigation radars. These CERs are based on technical design variables familiar to the exploratory or advanced development design engineer. The development CERs incorporate an explicit measure of the development program's state-of-the-art advance. The logistic support CERs are functions primarily of equipment first unit cost or cumulative average cost. (Author)
