3. Ó Galorath Incorporated 2004 Introduction and Background Phase I Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR ) contract awarded to Galorath in April, 2001 (9 Months, $100,000)
Develop improved cost estimating relationships for estimating manufacturing costs of electro-optical sensors for space
Algorithms built using the database using data from the “Passive Sensor Cost Model”
4. Ó Galorath Incorporated 2004 Phase II - ObjectivesAlgorithm Refinement Create (or refine) and validate algorithms to estimate costs of space-based, airborne and ground-based electro-optical (E-O) sensors
Supplement Phase I with new data and methods
Develop algorithms for key E-O elements, such as:
Focal plane array assemblies & solid state devices common to electro-optical systems
Optical telescope assemblies
Cryogenic coolers
Integration, assembly, and test
Examine, in depth, the nature of electro-optical technologies and cost implications
Collection of algorithms, interrelationships, and cost relationships are referred to as the “SpyGlass” model
5. Ó Galorath Incorporated 2004 SpyGlass Model Development Goal: Develop a generalized engineering trades (Cost As Independent Variable, or CAIV) cost model for space-based electro-optical sensors
Include all known missions (missile tracking, astronomy, etc.)
Include all usual system elements (optical telescope assembly, focal plane array, etc.)
Include all current technologies for each element
Model Development Steps
Data Collection
Domain Definition
Key Technical / Performance Parameter (KTPP) Identification
Configuration/ Cost Baseline Development
Building of Influence Functions
6. Ó Galorath Incorporated 2004 SpyGlass Model Development1. Data Collection Problem: Historical cost data is sparse and generally not enough for a statistically based model (a common problem for cost modelers!)
Solution: A data collection approach which has several stages:
Use existing high-level data from PSCM and other existing and available database
Collect detailed data from sources such as NASA, MDA, and other Government and industry sources
Use outside consultants, or subject matter experts (SMEs) to elicit detailed technical and cost data in a structured manner
(SMEs were used in other development steps also !)
7. Ó Galorath Incorporated 2004 SpyGlass Model Development2. Domain Definition Ensure SpyGlass adequately addresses the E-O domain in terms of missions and specific technologies for missions
SMEs identified 17 airborne and space missions which use passive E-O sensors as primary data collection means
From agencies using U.S . launch facilities from 1996 – 2004
Missions provide framework for identifying technologies
SMEs then identified technologies categories for these E-O sensor component categories:
- Optical telescope assembly - Focal plane array
- Calibrator - Mechanism
- Integration and test - Cooler
Technologies defined (e.g.,“Refracting” for telescope assy)
8. Ó Galorath Incorporated 2004 SpyGlass Model Development3. Key Technology or Performance Parameter (KTPP) Identification KTPP = Key Technology or Performance Parameter
KTPPs are key cost drivers that describe technical and performance attributes which influence cost
A four-part approach taken to identify KTPPs (with help from SMEs)
Brainstorming – for initial identification
Multi-voting – Ordering KTPPs in an ordinal sense
Screening – Reviewing KTPP candidates to insure they meet criteria for SpyGlass and SEER-H
Analytical Hierarchy Process: Ordering KTPPs in a ratio sense
For selected KTPPs, ranges for values were determined
9. Ó Galorath Incorporated 2004 Multi-Voting
Forces a consensus (ranking opinions can differ)
Requires at least three participants (usually SMEs)
Illustration of process:

10. Ó Galorath Incorporated 2004 SpyGlass Model Development3. Key Technology or Performance Parameter (KTPP) Identification Analytical Hierarchy Process (for KTPPs left after screening)
Pair-wise comparisons and relative importance ratings
Refines rankings, shows relative KTPP strength for cost
Example of process: List KTPPs in order of importance (A to E)
then enter numbers from 1 to 9 as follows:
If A equal to B (as a cost driver), enter 1
If A slightly more than B, (or B slightly more than C, etc.) enter 3
If A strongly more than B, enter 5
If A very strongly more than B, enter 7
If A absolutely stronger than B, enter 9
If indecisive between two ratings, use
Even number between ratings
(e.g., 2 between 1 and 3)
11. Ó Galorath Incorporated 2004 SpyGlass Model Development4. Develop Configuration / Cost Baselines Baseline Configurations have technologies and KTPP values
For Each E-O Sensor category (e.g., refracting telescopes), SME selects one project exemplar that is best (in SME opinion—most representative actual costs)
Similar to mission default technology
Availability of detailed cost estimation
Availability of detailed technical information
For selected technologies, SME assigns (in-range) values for all KTPPS
Both technical and cost data needed
Use real data when available; otherwise, use hypothetical values based on expert opinion
SME must provide thorough rationale for selection (technical and cost information, sources of information, project name, etc.)
SMEs also identify strong trade areas to supplement baseline configurations (e.g., using a more powerful telescope)
12. Ó Galorath Incorporated 2004 Results from SME Analyses
13. Ó Galorath Incorporated 2004 Build weighted “influence functions” for Development Labor (DL), Development Material (DM), Production Labor (PL) and Production Material (PM)
A set of influence functions is constructed for each technology
