Time Distribution of Below-the-Line Costs for GPALS Elements.

Abstract

This report documents the results of a study to determine the means for improving the accuracy and credibility of below-the-line (program level) cost estimates for elements of the Global Protection Against Limited Strikes (GPALS) System and for distributing total program costs for each below-the-line cost element on an annual basis throughout each acquisition phase. The report applies to costs associated with the development and production of defense systems. It pertains primarily to contractor below-the-line costs, including the cost of contractor support for government activities. This report addresses the engineering and manufacturing development (EMD) phase (formerly called full- scale development (FSD) phase) and the production phase of defense system acquisition programs.
