Model progression included Missile Command, Weapons Command cost analysis of maintenance policies, and Logistics Cost Analysis Models 2, 3, and 4. It is an analytical computer program capable of representing field logistic support functions and flow. It computes life cycle costs and operational availability for alternate system support concepts. Output includes provisioning requiremnts and operational elements both by numbers and cost. Variable dimensions are limited only by the computer and are input based on practical considerations. Parameters include extensive specification of factors for the following: deployment, equipment, supply, maintenance, and test equipment. Sensitivity to all input factors is possible. (Author)
