Cost/Schedule Uncertainty Analysis for VADS Short-Range (RAM) Product Improvement Program

Abstract

A cost/schedule uncertainty analysis was conducted on the short range (RAM) product improvement program (PIP) for the Vulcan Air Defense System (VADS) . The short range PIP addresses the product improvements to the self-propelled (M163) and towed (M167) VADS, changes to VADS support and test equipment, and documentation of those changes in the appropriate technical manuals. The Venture Evaluation and Review Technique (VERT), a network analyzer, was used to simulate the VADS PIP from July 1, 1976 to the completed application of all product improvements and the fielding of the new manuals and test equipment.
