COSTCASTER: A Cost Prediction and Trade-Off Model for Air Force Ground Communications-Electronics Equipment,

Abstract

XCOSTCASTER is a cost-prediction and trade-off model currently under development by Desmatics, Inc. for the Air Force. The model is designed for use as a decision aid in determining whether to modify, replace, or retain items of Air Force ground communications-electronics(C-E) equipment. This paper briefly describes a micro-computer-based COSTCASTER prototype developed in Lotus 1-2-3 on a Zenith Z-100. (Author)
