Life Cycle Cost Management Master Plan for the Defense Communications Agency.

Abstract

The Defense Communications Agency (DCA) has evolved from functioning simply as primary manager and operator of the Defense Communications System to providing command, control, and communications (C3) mission analysis, long-term planning, and systems engineering and integration support at the National, Office of Secretary of Defense, Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Unified and Specified Command levels. To accommodate its enhanced role, DCA has identified a need to upgrade its life cycle cost (LCC) estimating and analysis capabilities consistent with new DoD acquisition policy in an environment of rapidly changing C3 technology and deregulation of the communications industry. DCA tasked LMI to prepare a master plan for developing LCC capabilities, including advanced-system cost estimating, independent cost estimating, LCC quality assurance, comparative economic analysis, acquisition management analysis, program cost, tracking, special studies, and funding requirements forecasting for planning, programming, and budgeting.
