National Missile Defense Post Deployment Software Support: A Methodology for Manpower and Personnel Requirements Assessment.
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to define a methodology for estimating manpower and personnel requirements for Post Deployment Software Support (PDSS) of Department of Defense (DOD) software systems. This study was initiated by the United States Army's Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) Analysis Center (TRAC) at Fort Lee (TRAC-LEE), Virginia. The Statement of Work (SOW) required the AEPCO/DRC Team to accomplish the following: (1) Develop a methodology for determining PDSSS manpower and personnel resource requirements and training prerequisites; (2) Outline a procedure for implementing this methodology; and (3) Discuss the practical application of the methodology to the Army's National Missile Defense (NMD) System. Typically, PDSS accounts for more than two thirds of the total lift cycle cost for software within the DOD. This study defined a methodology to assist program managers within DOD in estimating PDSS manpower and personnel (MP) requirements and training standards in order to mitigate life cycle software engineering (LCSE) costs.
