COMBAT is composed of five individual weapon system cost-estimating models (aircraft, missile, ground-based, ship, and space) and a time-phased force cost-estimating model. The study is intended not only to instruct analysts on the use of the model but also to stimulate the development of similar cost-estimating models for use with other than military forces or systems.Read More
