An Operating and Support Cost Model for Aircraft Carriers and Surface Combatants.

Abstract

The report is in two parts. Part I details the development and implementation of an operating and support cost model for aircraft carriers and surface combatants. Twenty-three O and S cost elements were identified and defined, with close adherence being maintained to the draft CAIG Operating and Support Cost Development Guide for Naval Ships, the Navy Resource Model (NARM), and the work of the Visibility and Management of Support Costs (VAMOSC) Study Group. Cost data were obtained from three principal sources: Navy Cost Information System (NCIS), NARM Program Factors, and the Center for Naval Analyses' SOCER Study. Procedures consisting of parametric cost-estimating relationships, cost factors and 'thruput' estimates were developed for the full set of cost elements. Those procedures were incorporated into an automated model which was then used to estimate annual O and S costs for the DD-963 and the FFG-7. Part II of the report summarizes all the work accomplished under the contract and provides a listing of all technical reports submitted. (Author)
