Cost Benefit Analysis Tool for C4 Information Modeling

DSA proposes to develop a cost benefit analysis tool for command, control, communications, and computer (C4) systems. This tool will incorporate the best combination of methods from the fields of economic analysis, decision analysis, and optimization into a comprehensive functional/economic methodology to perform C4 cost benefit analysis. Phase I consists of three tasks. In Task 2, we will identify the important factors that contribute to the Air Mobility Command's evaluation of C4. In Task 2, we will demonstrate the top level implementation algorithmns and specify the tool architecture. In Phase II, we will produce a prototype software tool to fully implement the methodology developed in Phase I.
