The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company (LM Aero) have joined in the cost-shared development of a dual-use product-modeling environment for guiding a concept refinement process in terms of affordability. The target customers will include vehicle manufacturing industries (aerospace and automotive) where early decisions in product development have large consequences in subsequent production. AFRL interests lie in the development of a modeling environment for technology assessment, which anticipates (by necessity) military system product development. The target military application is the Simulation-Based Research and Development (SBR&D) initiative at AFRL Air Vehicles Directorate. At the heart of SBAAT is AFRL's role in identifying technology needs and prioritizing technology solutions with unprecedented attention to affordability issues. The objective of this paper is to describe and document the practicality, usefulness and payoff in the proposed CR process for meeting affordability interests related to new product design and vehicle technology development.
