Operating and Support Costing Guide: Army Weapon Systems
Abstract
The guide provides an ASARC/DSARC/CRAIG framework for review of major weapon system life cycle operating and support (O and S) cost estimates. It presents standard O and S cost elements, a standard approach to estimating O and S costs and a standard approach to documenting the cost estimates derived. This guide formalizes the procedures for O+S costing throughout the Army cost analysis community. It reflects the cost elements and methodologies to be used by HQDA in analyzing weapon system O and S cost estimates prepared by subordinate commands. Because it is conceptually related to the CAIG O and S guide, the guide will be used as the basic O and S costing terms of reference before the CAIG.
