A Life Cycle Cost Study of Contractor Versus Organic Support of Aircraft Programs.

Abstract

This thesis conducts a cost comparison between contractor and organic support for the CH-53 Aircraft in two major operating cost areas, training and aircraft overhaul. A life cycle cost approach is used and cost differentials are found for the twenty year life expectancy of the CH-53 system. The intent of the study was not to criticize or change the existing system, but rather to provide cost data and planning insight for future aircraft systems. (Author)
