Life Cycle Cost Percentages of Weapons Systems
While at a conference this week I heard the presentation of a paper by Quentin Redman, Andrew Crepea, and George Stratton, all of Raytheon, that summarized the life cycle costs of various weapons systems. This table is reproduced below:

Thank you for above data(percent of life cycle cost).
I have studied a method for estimating LCC five years ago. But, I don’t have enough data related percent of life cycle cost.
Do you have data for this?
