Avionics Proliferation: A Life Cycle Cost Perspective.

Abstract

The paper discusses proliferation and when it can occur. It specifically looks at the economic question of when can it be cost effective to use an existing military inertial navigation system for new aircraft rather than developing and using a new system. The discussion is from a life cycle cost viewpoint with particular attention to the 'start-up' costs. Attached with the paper is a complete reproduction of the input data and computer results used.
