Abstract
Cost justification has always been a primary consideration in the Department of Defense procurement process. As such, accurate detailed cost estimates of proposed defense acquisitions have become a requirement in defense-related projects. Collectively, these formalized cost identification and tracking programs are known as Design-to-Cost (DTC) and Design-to-Life-Cycle-Cost (DTLCC). These design constraints place increasing emphasis on producing not only technically superior designs, but costeffective designs as well. Because of relative infancy of advanced computer technology, a gap exists between the need to determine high cost areas and current capabilities to analyze aircraft costs at an early stage in the design process at a detailed level.
