This Memorandum describes the operation of one computerized weapon system cost model used by the RAND Cost Analysis Department to determine resource requirements for individual weapon systems that consist of either aircraft, aircraft and air-to-surface missiles (ASM's), or strategic missiles (for personnel requirements only). Included is a general description of the Model with particular emphasis on the personnel subroutine, which can handle eight specific types of weapon systems of the Strategic Air Command, the Air Defense Command, the Tactical Air Command, and the Military Air Transport Service, and extrapolate from these eight weapon systems seventy-two varying weapon system mixes and basing situations. The discussion is oriented toward describing the actual operation of the Model rather than the underlying reasons for the methodology used.
