Target Missile Airframe Costs

Abstract

A parametric method of estimating the production cost for a proposed TARGET Missile Airframe is presented in this report. A cost estimating relationship (CER) has been developed based upon an independent variable, the estimated airframe weight in pounds. The independent variable (Y) in the CER, Y = (A+Bx) squared, represents the average unit production cost for the first 700 airframes produced in terms of FY 77 constant dollars. The methodology used in developing this CER as well as a presentation of data and TARGET Missile Technical Descriptions, is included for the benefit of the cost estimator.
