It is expected that all O&S cost estimates provided to OSD will use the standard cost terms and definitions. • Chapter 3 discusses the many uses of O&S cost estimates and analyses in support of the defense acquisition process throughout the program life cycle. The strategic intent of this chapter is to emphasize that O&S cost considerations This study develops a dependent component cost risk model validation methodology and applies it to the Air Force Risk Model. The validation process consists of ensuring that logically consistent Ch 1 - Defining Costs and Cost Analysis A contractor's cost estimating system is the policies, procedures, and practices for generating cost estimates and other data included in cost proposals submitted to AF System Safety Handbook HQ AFSC/SEPP Kirtland AFB, NM 87117-5670 Sources . The Air Force System Safety Handbook has drawn information from many Army, Navy, and Air Force sources and selected articles by system safety professionals. Especially helpful in the preparation of this handbook were: MIL -STD -882D, DoD Standard practice for System Safety In its 2007 Cost Risk and Uncertainty Analysis Handbook, the U.S. Air Force describes in great detail its methodology for estimating the total cost of a given system. This methodology is applied to a potential (but fictitious) missile system. Here, we have a series of 3 example models which use @RISK to build increasingly sophisticated components of the total estimate (AFSC Cost Estimating Handbook, 1986:9.4.1). Because CERs are versatile and widespread, they can be found in virtually every cost analyst's toolbox.
