Demonstration of a Logistics Support Cost Model for Stage III of the Digital European Backbone Program.
Abstract
This study provides a cost-based methodology for comparing alternative fixed ground communications radios. The study develops and demonstrates a life cycle logistics support cost model representing relevant initial investment costs and recurring maintenance and supply support costs. The scope of the study addresses only Stage 3 of the Digital European Backbone Upgrade Project. The cost model developed is an accounting model that aggregates the cost of thirteen separate cost element equations and requires 54 input data values. This methodology provides a systematic approach to estimating the relevant costs of proposed equipment options over their expected usage period. The model yields estimated cost results that indicate relative cost magnitudes and relative cost differential comparisons as figures of merit between equipment alternatives. (Author)
