Abstract :
Cost of ownership analysis establishes the baseline expenditures for modernization planning for improvement of current weapon systems. Modernization planning uses performance and economic analysis (EA) techniques to make rational decisions in selection of the best alternative to modernize the weapon system(s). This paper describes the determination of cost of ownership and its use in the modernization planning process
