Life Cycle Cost (LCC) Estimation

Key Benefits:

  • Understanding of Total Ownership Cost

  • Firm foundation for evaluating costs of alternative procurement strategies

  • Key component for conducting cost/effectiveness analysis

  • Cost tied to a defined configuration and set of assumptions

Capabilities:

  • Costing entire systems

  • Costing selected subsystems (particular emphasis on command, control and communications)
