We propose an innovative cost evaluation methodology for missile development and manufacturing, based on an integrated cost model, a plug-and-play software architecture, and a distributed infrastructure of computation and simulation. Our methodology has three unique contributions. First, our integrated cost model is a systematical approach that utilizes the most-updated cost data and selects the right cost model for each individual component based on the available parameters and historical data. Second, the plug-and-play architecture provides the flexibility and extensibility for the cost model library so that the cost models developed in the future can be easily involved. Third, our distributed infrastructure will enable our system to be easily integrated with AMRDEC distributed architecture through remote interfaces, and furthermore provide a framework to conduct cost evaluation and simulation using distributed computation. The ultimate objective of this proposal is the creation of a cost evaluation system that can be placed on the web to enable wide accessibility and continuous improvement.
