AGMC Life Cycle Cost Model, an Accounting Model for Inertial Navigation Systems.

摘要

This report described the accounting Model developed by AGMC to evaluate the Life Cycle Costs of Inertial Navigation Systems. However, it is a general purpose Model and may be tailored for other than Inertial Navigation Systems by simply re-naming parameters as applicable. The purpose of the Model is to provide a method to compare two or more types of systems, or maintenance options on the same system. It provides a simplified approach to modeling costs, as the number of different types of input data required is relatively small. This Model has the capability of isolating and identifying start-up costs and recurring costs. It allows analysis through three indenture levels: Line Replaceable Units (LRU), Shop Replaceable Units (SRU), and Depot Replaceable Units (DRU). Included in this report are a description of parameters, Model equations, a sample run print out and a program listing of the Model. (Author)
