A Methodology for Evaluation of Ammunition Packaging/Containerization Alternatives on a Life Cycle Basis,

Abstract

The study was accomplished in two parts. Phase I, completed in February 1976, provided a review and assessment of relevant cost methodologies and data availability. Development of the methodology described herein occurred during PhaseII. The methodology provides a viable and consistent framework for evaluation of ammunition/containerization on life cycle cost basis. Utility of the methodology is demonstrated by the evaluation of packaging configurations for the 2.75-Inch Rocket. Results of this demonstration are provided in Appendix E.
