Navy Air-Launched Missile Operating and Support Cost Estimating Model
Abstract
The Cost Analysis Improvement Group (CAIG), which is responsible for policy and guidance for cost analysis in the Department of Defense, issued a memorandum which contained an operating and support cost element structure (CES) for tactical air-launched missiles, to be used in all Defense System Acquisition Review Council reviews and other missile cost analyses. Accordingly, the Resource Analysis Group (Op-96D), which is responsible for independent cost analysis within the Navy, tasked Administrative Sciences Corporation to undertake a study. The CES which was developed contains sixteen cost elements which define and encompass the same activities described in the CAIG memorandum. Each cost element is discussed in detail in the body of this report. All pertinent data which was collected during the study is included, as well as examples of Navy documents which can be used for cost estimating in the future. Each source is identified by a point of contact and a DOD telephone number. All explanatory variables which were employed in the study, whether used in a cost- estimating relationship or not, are also included.
