Abstract
This paper addresses the question of whether the Department of Defense (DoD) has been spending enough to replenish the capital stock at military test and evaluation (T&E) sites. For purposes of this paper, “capital stock” refers to the physical plant comprised of structures and major equipment, which, at a T&E site, would include buildings, towers, test stands, range instrumentation, data processing equipment, etc. We have excluded the implicit costs of land, the third major category of capital. The analysis focuses on the capital stock at the 22 principal T&E sites, those belonging to the Major Range and Test Facility Base (MRTFB), shown in Table 1.
