The Independent Cost Analysis (ICA) Program is used extensively in the Air Force Logistics Command to provide an independent test of reasonableness of official cost estimates of major weapon system acquisitions and modifications. This helps assure that scarce dollars are spent wisely in the procurement and support of Air Force weaponry. AFLC has a major role in ICAs since the cost to operate and maintain a weapon system often exceeds the cost to procure it. AFLC uses a variety of methods to estimate operating and support costs, including cost models, cost estimating relationships, analogy to other systems, and engineering estimates. AFLC has been successful in developing quality estimates, but has a concerted effort underway to improve upon the estimating methods and techniques used in ICAs.
