Validation of the Cost Methodologies within the Weapon Systems Support Cost System (D160) of the Air Force VAMOSC System.

Abstract

The Air Force VAMOSC system has been mandated by DOD to aid in decision-making for modification and acquisition of weapons systems. VAMOSC data will be used in cost models that support decisions to obligate millions of dollars. Therefore, the accuracy of VAMOSC's output and the validity of its logic are paramount to the utility of the system to the user. For this reason, the Air Force Office of VAMOSC is relying on independent contractor's to validate the VAMOSC logic and data sources. (Author)
