Book excerpt: Cost estimation of USAF major weapon system package sales should be as accurate as possible to assure relationships with foreign customers are not strained. This thesis examines the cost estimation procedure of the F/RF-4 Systems Program Office, Financial Directorate, used to prepare a price and availability (P and A) estimate for Foreign Military Sales (FMS) requests. The study provides an analysis of the coordination process involved in an F/RF-4 P and A request, beginning with the foreign country and concluding with the Aeronautical System Division of the Air Force Systems Command. A detailed analysis of the data base for the computer algorithm used by the Financial Directorate is provided. The algorithm assures that real-time component costs are included in the P and A estimate. Conclusions from this research indicate that the data base allows continuous updating of cost components. It also enables instant modification of cost estimates in response to country inquiries arising from changes which occur during formal price negotiations. (Author).

Book Synopsis Foreign Military Sales Product Support. An Exploratory Study of the Support Purchased as Part of the Initial Acquisition Effort for the F-5 Weapon System by : James P Dutcher (Jr)
Download or read book Foreign Military Sales Product Support. An Exploratory Study of the Support Purchased as Part of the Initial Acquisition Effort for the F-5 Weapon System written by James P Dutcher (Jr) and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this thesis is to present a detailed study of the support which is included in the acquisition process of foreign military sale programs. Thus, a set of definitions and concepts are developed in this study whereby this support can be identified, problems identified and suggested solutions developed. These concepts are then applied to the F-5 program in general as well as specific support efforts within this program so that support tasks can be categorized in a meaningful manner. Additionally, selected problems such as support cost allocation problems, the matching of support benefits with costs and problems associated with the funding of the support efforts are presented.
Book Synopsis Sources of Weapon System Cost Growth by : Joseph George Bolten
Download or read book Sources of Weapon System Cost Growth written by Joseph George Bolten and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2008 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previous studies have shown that the Department of Defense (DoD) and the military departments have historically underestimated the cost of new weapon systems. Quantifying cost growth is important, but the larger issue is why cost growth occurs. To address that issue, this analysis uses data from Selected Acquisition Reports to examine 35 mature, but not necessarily complete, major defense acquisition programs similar to the type and complexity of those typically managed by the Air Force. The programs are first examined as a complete set, then Air Force and non-Air Force programs are analyzed separately to determine whether the causes of cost growth in the two groups differ. Four major sources of cost growth were identified: (1) errors in estimation and scheduling, (2) decisions made by the government, (3) financial matters, and (4) miscellaneous sources. Total (development plus procurement) cost growth, when measured as simple averages among the program set, is dominated by decisions, which account for more than two-thirds of the growth. Most decisions-related cost growth involves quantity changes (22 percent), requirements growth (13 percent), and schedule changes (9 percent). Cost estimation (10 percent) is the only large contributor in the errors category. Less than 4 percent of the overall cost growth is due to financial and miscellaneous causes. Because decisions involving changes in requirements, quantities, and production schedules dominate cost growth, program managers, service leadership, and Congress should look for ways to reduce changes in these areas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is one of a series from a RAND Project AIR FORCE project, "The Cost of Future Military Aircraft: Historical Cost Estimating Relationships and Cost Reduction Initiatives." The report complements another document from this project, "Impossible Certainty: Cost Risk Analysis for Air Force Systems," and includes a literature review of cost growth studies and a more extensive analysis of the historical cost growth in acquisition programs than appears in the companion report. Overall, most of the studies reviewed reported that actual costs were greater than estimates of baseline costs. The most common metric used to measure cost growth is the cost growth factor (CGF), which is defined as the ratio of the actual cost to the estimated costs. A CGF of less than 1.0 indicates that the estimate was higher than the actual cost -- an underrun. When the CGF exceeds 1.0, the actual costs were higher than the estimate -- an overrun. Studies of weapon system cost growth have mainly relied on data from Selected Acquisition Reports (SARs). These reports are prepared annually by all major defense acquisition program (MDAP) offices within the military services to provide the U.S. Congress with cost, schedule, and performance status. The comparison baseline (estimate) typically corresponds to a major acquisition decision milestone. Prior studies have reported Milestone (MS) II CGFs for development costs ranging from 1.16 to 2.26; estimates of procurement CGFs ranging from 1.16 to 1.65; and total program CGFs ranging from 1.20 to 1.54. Regarding the differences among cost growth due to service, weapon, and time period, prior studies tended to find the following: Army weapon systems had higher cost growth than did weapon systems for the Air Force or Navy; cost growth differs by equipment type; and cost growth has declined from the 1960s and 1970s, after it was recognized as an important problem.

Book Synopsis A Model for Estimating Depot Maintenance Costs for Air Force Fighter and Attack Aircraft by : Michael P. Waker
Download or read book A Model for Estimating Depot Maintenance Costs for Air Force Fighter and Attack Aircraft written by Michael P. Waker and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The model developed in this study has two cost estimating relationships (CERs) for estimating depot maintenance costs in its two categories: depot maintenance cost per Promary Authorized Aircraft (PAA); and, depot maintenance cost per flying hour. The data source used for depot maintenance costs is the Weapon Systems Cost Retrieval System (WSCRS) as developed by HQ AFLC. The CERs developed used empty weight of fighter and attack aircraft to predict the cost of depot maintenance per PAA. For depot maintenance cost per flying hour, the variables used were combat radius, thrust-to-weight ratio, and empty weight. The study found that the F-111 was a significant outlier with respect to the data set, but even when included in the data base the F-111 enhanced the values of the statistics for the model and improved the ability of the model to predict. The relationship found for depot maintenance cost per PAA in the CER developed, was not as strong a predictor as was the CER developed for depot maintenance cost per flying hour. This conclusion agrees with previous studies that have tried to determine significant relationships between depot maintenance costs and those costs attributed to the number of PAA. (Theses).
