User's Manual for Strategic Satellite System Terminal Segment Life Cycle Cost Model. Volume I

摘要

A computerized Life Cycle Cost (LCC) Model has been developed for the Strategic Satellite System (SSS) Terminal Segment Program. The model is tailored for this program in its structuring of terminal equipment and in the particular trade-off analyses which it supports. The Model emphasizes system support costs and design related cost drivers such as reliability and installation. A capability to study the cost trade-offs between fault isolation using built-in test equipment and using peculiar support equipment is included. The Model also considers three-level maintenance philosophies which include centralized intermediate maintenance facilities. Volume I of this User's Manual provides detailed instructions for entering data and running the LCC Model through step-by-step instructions and illustrative runs. All Air Force inputs to the Model equations are also provided. Volume II provides listings of the FORTRAN source code for the three programs comprising the Model. This document is a part of the SSS Request for Proposal Package, and is specifically a supplement to the Statement of Work in that package. The Model is intended to be used in SSS Source Selection.
