In order to help DoD analysts assess the structure and cost of military aircraft forces, IDA developed the Aviation Requirements Cost System (ARCS), an integrated system of computer models. This paper provides instructions for use of the five models that make up the ARCS. The Cost Model evaluates the cost consequences of marginal changes in size and composition of DoD aviation forces. The Procurement Model calculates the costs of changes to the procurement profiles for aircraft listed in the Procurement Annex to the Future Years Defense Program (FYDP). The Age Model calculates the average age of an aircraft based on variations in the procurement or retirement plans for that aircraft. The Inventory Model determines the total active aircraft inventory needed to meet program requirements. The New Aircraft Model estimates the acquisition costs of new aircraft based on system design parameters.
