Abstract:

This appendix has been revised to update and correct some of the factors and cost estimating relationships CERs contained in the 1976 issue. This revision describes and documents computer models for CERs and presents sample life cycle cost calculations using the models. It also includes a revised FORTRAN IV Program Users Guide incorporating military personnel and training costs as part of its costing methodology. The TRI-TAC Life Cycle Cost Element Structures from Volume III is used for formatting output costs. New features have also been added which will assist in formatting the estimates in a manner suitable for CAIGDSARC presentations. Author
