  6. Arctic2007 Basing Options • Thule AFB • Kangerlussuaq (Sondrestrom) • Canada ?? • Iceland ?? Arctic20070 TIM 10/10/2007

  7. Mission Costs • P-3 Subsidized rate at $ 2,500/hr • Transit time ~ 16 hrs round trip • ECF ~ 1-3 hrs • Test Flights ?? • ~ $ 50K non-science hours (ECF, transit) • + MPCs Arctic20070 TIM 10/10/2007

  8. Mission Peculiar Costs • Aircrew Per-Diem (Lodging/M&IE) • Airfield Costs • Deicing • Ramp charges • Administrative Fees • Crew Overtime • Fuel Exceeding Subsidized rate $ 3.00 • Shop Supplies • Engineering/Fabrication Arctic20070 TIM 10/10/2007

  9. Estimated Basing Costs (MPCs) • Assumptions; • 7 air-crew members • 15 hours overtime/day • Thule (per week) • Aircrew Per-Diem (Lodging/M&IE) = $ 64/day = ~ $ 3K • Airfield Costs = $ 0 • Deicing • Ramp charges • Administrative Fees • Crew Overtime = $ 5K • Fuel Exceeding Subsidized rate of $ 3.00 = $0 • WAG for Thule = 8K/week Arctic20070 TIM 10/10/2007

  10. Estimated Basing Costs (MPCs) • Assumptions; • 7 air-crew members • 15 hours overtime/day • Sonde (per week) • Aircrew Per-Diem (Lodging/M&IE) = $ 313/day = ~ $ 15K • Airfield Costs = $ 1700/day = ~$ 12K • Deicing ( not included) • Ramp charges • Administrative Fees • Crew Overtime = $ 5K • Fuel Exceeding Subsidized rate of $ 3.00 (fuel rate $3.70-$4.50) = $4K / day = ~$ 28K • WAG for Sonde = $ 60K/week Arctic20070 TIM 10/10/2007

  11. Cost ?? • Assumption; 40 flight hours/week • 300K + 50K non-science = $350K • 2 weeks Thule = $ 20 K • 1 week Sonde = $ 60 K • Total scenario cost ~ $ 430K Arctic20070 TIM 10/10/2007
