Abstract:

Cost estimating relationships CERs for predicting the in-house manufacturing hardware unit costs for cannons during the early stages of weapon system development are discussed in this study. PhysicalPerformance characteristics regarded as cost drivers, known early in cannon development, were selected as independent variables. Six CERs are presented in order of decreasing goodness of fit, and each exhibit a correlation at the one percent level F-test. Author
