The Relationship Between Development and Production Hardware Costs in Military Weapons System

Abstract

This study was designed to establish the validity and nature of a relationship between the cost of producing prototype units and the cost of producing the units in the investment phase where only costs recurring with the units was considered. A secondary objective of this analysis involved the assessment of the most appropriate cost improvement theory to employ in developing the theoretical first unit cost of an item.
