Decision Analysis for XM578 APFSDS Cartridge Development Program,

Abstract

A decision analysis was performed on the XM578 APFSDS projectile development program. The decision analysis differed from a Risk Analysis in that, along with assessing program risks, the decision analysis proposed alternative program approaches and compared the expected outcomes of the proposed alternatives with the basic program. Prime consideration was given to the quantification of uncertainties, examination of allocation of resources between test and design phases of the development program and to quantify the value of information obtained in a test program.
