Operating and Support Cost Estimating Guide. Sample Analysis Microwave Landing System at DSARC (Defense Systems Acquisition Review Council) III.

Abstract

Operating and Support (O&S) costs for the Micro Wave Landing System (MLS) and the current Precision Approach Radar/Instrument Landing System (PAR/ILS) (baseline) are shown. These figures are compared to the figures presented to the DSARC at Milestone II. The force O&S costs are based on a three year delivery schedule plus 20 years of full force operation of 150 copies. The cost reduction reflects a drop in the number of support personnel by 3. This cost reduction occurred in spite of the rapid rise in energy costs. The automatic solid state MLS requires only about 66% of the energy of the existing PAR/ILS in spite of an added automatic communications capability.
