Unit Production Cost of the Radar Beacon Transponder (RBX).

Abstract

This report presents the results of a study conducted by ARINC Research Corporation to develop the unit production cost of the Radar Beacon Transponder (RBX). The study was conducted for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Systems Research and Development Service (SRDS) and Office of Systems Engineering Management (OSEM) under Contract DOT-FA76WA-3788. On the basis of circuit and equipment designs developed by ARINC Research, the unit production cost (factory selling price) of the RBX was determined to be $53,190. Equipment costs were derived using the accounting method of cost estimating. System development and production tooling costs were not included in the unit production cost. All costs are based on 1981 dollars without inflation.
