Guidance from the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition,
Technology, and Logistics USD (ATL) requires 100 percent of defense
programs to incorporate cost as an independent variable (CAIV) and
evolutionary acquisition (EA) plans within their management
baselines. Historically, these two concepts have been implemented
independent of one another. In reality, CAIV and EA are tightly
coupled. Integration of these two initiatives enables warfighters
and developers to better allocate constrained resources, respond to
fluctuations in program funding, and plan for future development
activities. This research creates a decision tool to assist the DoD
acquisition community in satisfying the intent of the USD (ATL)
guidance. Using multiattribute design evaluation techniques, a core
CAIV model is formulated. Next, the core model is expanded to
incorporate the dominant features of EA. The expanded model seeks
to optimize overall utility across a horizon of multiple
development increments. Additionally, technical risk factors are
integrated to discount the realized level of attainment for design
attributes.
