Description
Summary:The purpose of Volume III is to provide the necessary guidelines and methodology for the preparation of Life Cycle Costs that are used in cost effectiveness analysis of tactical communication programs and in the optimization of communication system/equipment design. The Life Cycle Costing Volume contains the following information: The Basic structure of the LCC model; definitions of all the cost elements involved in the acquisition and ownership of communication equipment; general and specific TRI-TAC recommendations concerning certain ground rules and assumptions to be used in LCC analysis of TRI-TAC related programs; equations with appropriate cost factors to calculate operating and support costs; formats for the presentation of the cost data. In addition, general guidelines and information are presented on the treatment of learning curves, discounting and inflation in LCC analysis. (Modified author abstract)
