Summary	This research is for systems and software cost estimation support of Maritime Surveillance Systems (PMS 485). The goal is to improve the Integrated Common Processor (ICP) cost estimation process and related process areas. Specific objectives include improving the predictability of systems and software cost estimates, performing estimation model calibration, providing tool advice and best practices for cost estimation and reduction of software development cost, shoring up governance procedures for measurement visibility in support of cost estimation, and identifying related programmatic risks. This follow-on work in 2012 will conduct code counting measurements on-site at Lockheed Martin to help calibrate the reported software size with the CodeCount tool. This tool implements the standardized logical source statement definition across programming languages consistent with the parametric cost models being used.
