Multiple regression analysis was applied to historical data on direct manhours required to produce helicopter airframes. Since direct labor and related overhead accounts for more than half the cost of a helicopter airframe, a good estimate of this cost factor is essential to the preparation of a reliable Independent Government Cost Estimate. The spiralling costs of military hardware dictates that future acquisitions be made on the basis of cost-effectiveness studies. If the cost portion can be predicted accurately enough in advance of production, based upon known or required physical characteristics of a weapons system, an enlightened choice could then more likely be made. The equations resulting from the above mentioned regression analysis are expected to provide an important tool in this regard. (Author)
