Surveying Cost Growth
Abstract
Cost growth that weapon systems incur throughout their acquisition life cycle concerns those who work in the acquisition environment. One way to reduce the amount of unexpected cost growth is to develop better cost estimates In attaining better cost estimates though, it is often helpful to understand and account for potential cost drivers. Several cost studies some of which specifically focus on the aircraft industry have been performed documenting and investigating these growth faders. Overviews of these various cost growth studies are presented as other tools for the cost estimators and program managers.
