Digital Avionics Information System (DAIS): Life Cycle Cost Impact Modeling System (LCCIM). A Managerial Overview

摘要

This report provides an overview of the Life Cycle Cost Impact Modeling System (LCCIM). The LCCIM can be used to assess the impact of weapon system characteristics on system support resource requirements and life cycle cost (LCC). It was developed to enhance present Air Force capability to conduct trade-offs between competing design, manpower, and logistics alternatives early in the weapon systems acquisition process. This report also contains a general description of the initial application of the LCCIM: an analysis of the potential impacts of the Digital Avionics Information System (DAIS) concept of avionics integration on LCC and system support personnel requirements. References are provided for other related reports which: describe that application, document the development of LCCIM components, and provide user's guide information and comptuer program listings.
