An Extension of Cost Estimating Relationships for Airframes of Remotely Piloted Vehicles.

Abstract

Cost estimating relationships (CER's) were developed for remotely piloted vehicle (RPV) airframes. A limited data base consisting of drones and RPV's was augmented with airbreathing, preprogrammed missiles. Logarithmic and linear equations were developed where possible using ordinary least squares regression for six categories of cost: engineering, manufacturing labor, tooling, material, development support, and flight test.
