Maintenance Surcharge for Range Use at the Pacific Missile Test Center.

Abstract

The Pacific Missile Test Center, PMTC, is utilized by various DOD components to test and evaluate weapons systems. Range facilities include tracking and surveillance radar, telemetry, communication, recording and command/control/destruct instrumentation systems. PMTC is a component of DOD's Major Range and Test Facility Base and is subject to operating under a Uniform Funding Policy. This thesis investigates the proposal made by PMTC's Engineering and Design Department that a surcharge system be developed to levy instrumentation maintenance costs on range users. The DOD organization for RDT&E and Weapon Systems Acquisition is discussed in brief. This is followed by a detailed examination of the Uniform Funding Policy and Industrial Maintenance Principles. The PMTC Financial Management System is presented and surcharge implementation problems are identified. A conclusion is made to effectuate a surcharge; and allocation and implementation procedures are introduced. (Author)
