Cost and Performance Analysis of Conceptual Design of Physical Protection Systems

Abstract

CPA - Cost and Performance Analysis - is a methodology that joins Activity Based Cost estimation with performance-based analysis of physical protection systems. CPA offers system managers an approach that supports both tactical decision making and strategic planning. Current exploratory applications of the CPA methodology are addressing analysis of alternative conceptual designs. Hypothetical data is used to illustrate this process.
