Summary This research addresses how to provide senior DUSD (AS&C) decision makers with improved, consistent, credible, and reliable cost estimates for use in the ACTD/JCTD program, to include enhancing understanding of the unique characteristics of ACTD/JCTD and providing business case analyses (BCAS) for ACTD/JCTD projects. BCAS provide a series of rigorous analyses of the costs and benefits associated with JCTD projects, thereby providing an analytic underpinning to the decisions to begin and to continue candidate projects and to support transition planning with the joint staff.
