Abstract:

Using decision analysis techniques a generic decision model for potential avionics enhancements to the A-10 aircraft is developed. Five generic avionics additions and the baseline single seat aircraft are considered in the decision model. Aspects of systems acquisition and the impact of war are also incorporated. The model developed provides the basis for a flexible management tool that can assist the program manager in reaching a decision, if one should be required, concerning avionics additions to the A-10 aircraft. The model demonstrates how the decision analysis techniques can be applied to an unstructured decision problem encountered in program management. Author
