Manufacturing Cost Impacts of Electronic Boxes Due to the Various Basing Modes

Abstract

This report documents the electronic box cost analysis performed for the U.S. Army Strategic Defense Command (SDC) Cost Analysis Office. The objective of this work was to develop various techniques of estimating recurring hardware theoretical first unit costs of electronics boxes found in each of the different basing modes (e.g., airborne, ground mobile, and space) and then to compare or quantify the cost impacts of one basing mode versus another. The final product in this effort was a report which documented cost estimating relationships (CERs) developed to estimate the following airborne equipment: Receivers; Transmitters; Digital Processors; Antenna Assemblies; Analog Electronics; Inertial Platform Assemblies; Power Conditioning and Inverter/ Converter Electronics; and Other Equipment. Keywords: Exciters, Phased array antennas, Planar array antennas.
