Abstract

The objective of this special study was to review the spectrum of available cost models and cost studies addressing strategic missiles, evaluate the elements of cost pertaining to operation and support, establish a comprehensive cost element structure to serve as both a standard or checklist in accomplishing cost estimates and the basis from which to develop Air Force cost factors. And finally, actually develop operations and support cost factors for Air Force strategic missiles and make them available to the cost community through publication in AFR 173-13. This paper was presented at the Annual DOD cost Analysis Symposium.
