The United States Air Force (USAF) Avionics Laboratory is currently developing the Avionics Software Support Cost Model (ASSCM). This effort was contracted to SYSCON Corporation in September, 1980 and is scheduled for completion in September, 1982. The ASSCM will be based on historical software support cost data from Air Force Logistics Centers and is designed for use during the conceptual phase of a project. The current version of the ASSCM is limited to U.S. Air Force and Navy avionics software applications. However, the model is being developed in a modular format so that it can be expanded to include other software applications. These applications may include space systems, ground-based systems, and NATO software systems. Successful completion of the ASSCM will represent a significant advancement in the area of life cycle cost analysis. The ASSCM will aid U.S. and NATO organizations in analyzing and, consequently, reducing software support costs. ASSCM promises to represent a significant milestone in the area of software life cycle cost analysis. The use of historical data insures that ASSCM reflects actual costs of software support, as well as the policies and procedures used by USAF ALCs to support software. The use of the Delphi survey results enables ASSCM to be useful for a wide variety of avionic software programs. The model has been designed to be easy to use, especially during the conceptual, or early design phase of a software program. Minimal input data is required.
