A linear model for decision making can be used by program managers when the decision variables are independent and conditionally monotone in their relationship to each other. The choice of an airborne avionics computer for the Pave Low 3 HH-53 helicopter provided a situation which met these two conditions. The four independent, monotone decision variables included performance characteristics, delivery schedule, maintenance considerations, and life cycle costs. By using a group of judges to determine the importance of each variable in relation to the others and by assigning a quantitative value to each variable, the linear model was able to provide a method for choosing between two computer candidates for the HH-53.
