In fiscal 1974, Administrative Science Corp. developed a parametric cost-estimating model which has been updated and documented several times and used to support numerous Defense Systems Acquisition Review Council (DSARC) reviews as well as other cost reviews. This report provides a detailed documentation of the cost-estimating relationships (CER's) developed from FY77 data. In addition, the report has been significantly enhanced in order to serve as a handbook and training aid for Op-96D aircraft analysts. For each cost element in the structure, this report provides: (1) a definition; (2) discussion of the definition and other aspects of how, where, and why these costs are incurred, points of contact including organizational codes and telephone numbers, historical data, and sources for planning data; (3) cost-estimating relationship, including all computational procedures, regression statistics for the CER, and the data base; (4) an alternative CER (in many cases) with the same detail as above; and, (5) an example calculation.
