This thesis reviews the proposed consolidation of the two E-2C hawkeye Fleet Replacement Squadrons (FRS) into a single training site. Expected costs savings areas are evaluated against possible expense areas. Each savings/ cost category is discussed and possible impact on training if omitted. Implementation scenarios are presented and evaluated on a break-even basis. In addition, possible future conditions in which FRS consolidation might be fiscally practical is discussed. Finally, impact of the consolidation on the E- 2C aviation community is listed.

The consolidation of Fleet Replacement Squadrons (FRS) represents one method of achieving planned force reductions. This thesis utilizes the Cost of Base Realignment Actions (COBRA) cost model to develop cost estimates for determination of the cost effective site location. The A-6 FRS consolidation is used as a case study. Data were compiled using completed Functional Wing studies as well as local information sources. A comparison between the cost estimates provided by the COBRA cost model for the alternate site locations is provided. Conclusions on the utilization of the COBRA cost model for the consideration of FRS consolidations and directions for future research are listed in the final chapter.
This report describes a methodology for estimating the non-recruiting costs of Reserve component changes in the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy and draws inferences about the factors that affect non-recurring unit costs. The report also addresses other cost effects associated with unit charges, including changes in annual recurring costs and indirect or force-wide costs. Construction, support equipment, and aircrew training costs account for the majority of the non-recurring costs in the various case studies. The findings suggest that non-recurring costs can be reduced if (1) the basing location has existing facilities; (2) prior-service aircrew personnel with experience in the new weapon system can be recruited; and (3) the Reserve unit is located on an Active base that has excess capacity and can share in various logistic-support assets.

Two primary procurement alternatives were considered: (1) replacement of the present system with a newly developed configuration, designated the APQ-122(V)5, and (2) an update of the current system employing solid-state components, designated the AN/APN-59X. A brief history of the rationale and development efforts for each alternative was presented, along with an analysis of a field operational evaluation of the APQ-122(V)5 system. A comparative cost of ownership analysis was conducted to determine the feasibility (from an economic viewpoint) of replacing the APN-59B system on the Air Force's fleet of KC-135's, C-130's, and C-141's with either of the two alternative proposals. A similar cost of ownership study was also conducted to determine the feasibility of replacing the APN-59B system on only the Military Airlift Command fleet of C-141 aircraft.

Despite the high Operational and Support costs incurred, the Brazilian Air Force's (BAF) declining budget has led to the establishment of conservative policies that favor short run solutions for a critical BAF airlift problem of operating an aging fleet. As a result of this policy, service life extensions of older airlift aircraft are the preferred solution. Using an equal airlift capacity approach to examine the Brazilian Air Force mobility system, this research performs a cost comparison analysis between two aircraft currently in operation at Brazilian's airlift command: C-130 Hercules and C-95 Bandeirante. To accomplish the cost analysis, this research develops an Operation and Support aircraft cost model adapted to the Brazilian's airlift system requirements. Assuming the same level of annual flying hours for the next 20 years, the research cost analysis concludes that the proposed alternative of acquiring C-130 aircraft to replace the older C-95 could result in savings of at least 25 percent, without reducing the BAF mobility capacity.
This study provides parametric O&S cost models for future US Navy aircraft acquisition programs based on physical and performance parameters. The proposed parametric cost models provide decision makers with a tool for developing rough-order-of-magnitude annual O&S cost estimates for future US Navy aircraft acquisition programs. The historic aircraft cost data was provided by the Naval Center for Cost Analysis (NCCA) in a spreadsheet format and the data were extracted from the Navy Visibility and Maintenance of Operating and Support Cost (VAMOSC) data warehouse. After validating the assumption that the average annual O&S cost for any aircraft type/model/series is constant from year to year, cost estimating relationships are developed. The first model developed is based on multivariate regression. In this case, forward stepwise regression was used to find the model with the best fit. Since the multivariate regression model turns out to be impractical, having more than 30 variables in the equation, a tree-based model is presented as an alternative. Additionally, single variable cost estimating relationships are formulated based on the physical and performance parameters length, weight, and thrust.
