Research abstract
THE GROWNING CONCERN IN CONGRESS AND THE DOD OVER ESCALATING COSTS IN DOD SYSTEMS HAS PROMOTED THE MORE EXTENSIVE USE OF ICES (INDEPENDENT COST ESTIMATES) AND ICAS (INDEPENDENT COST ANALYSES). BMO HAS LONG BEEN THE LEADER IN THE USE OF THESE ESTIMATES FOR ITS PROGRAMS. HOWEVER, IN ORDER TO MORE EFFICIENTLY GATHER THE COST DATA AND PRODUCE IT, A SYSTEM OF RETRIEVAL AND STORAGE IS NEEDED. THIS WOULD ELIMINATE THE NEED TO CONTINUALLY RECALCULATE COSTS AND WOULD MAKE MORE EFFICIENT USEAGE OF THE PROJECT OFFICER'S TIME.
