465 Javier Pastor Sánchez Life Cycle Cost Estimation Procedure for a Weapon... In Figures 10 and 11, we observe that the LCC estimates, whether partial or total, for different DDV phases, are practically non-existent despite the fact that Instruction 67/2011 stipulates that this is necessary from REM and DDR onwards. It is striking that the complete LCC estimate has only been calculated in 37.9% of cases (we shall call it complete although this is not the case since the estimates made do not include all logistical support and they exclude operating costs, internal defence costs and system withdrawal costs). The analysis of information and the interviews conducted indicate that the authority entrusted with the costing until the REM stage does not have at its disposal the qualified personnel needed to pool cost expertise and, moreover, to comprehend the technical engineering parameters defined. (Personnel assigned to the General Staff who could use their resources to produce manual estimates of the ROM ilk). http://revista.ieee.es/index.php/ieee
