Life Cycle Costing of Military Equipment
Military assets are generally appraised at the acquisition stage on the basis of their total life cycle costs. This study provides a theoretical foundation and a parametric cost model for forecasting the life cycle cost for any kind of heavy military equipment. In the model, the asset operating and maintenance (O&M) costs are estimated as a function of its age over its optimal operational life....
متن کاملOperational Experience and Research Directions in Military Night Vision Equipment
Over the last twenty years, significant progress has been made in the technical development of night vision equipment. There are a number of different approaches. Image intensifiers amplify ambient light so that it can be presented via phosphor displays including those embedded within night vision goggles. This technology relies upon light from the stars or moon, as well as from man-made source...
متن کاملThe Operational Strengths and Weaknesses of Military Night Vision Equipment
The UK Ministry of Defence (2003) recently argued that the use of night vision equipment improves ‘shared situation awareness’ and ‘greatly enhanced operational effectiveness... in surveillance and target acquisition in close combat’. They are ‘particularly effective in the urban environment’ and in support of ‘marshalling and logistic maneuvers at night’. However, there is good evidence to sug...
متن کاملEvaluating the Performance of Medical Equipment Supply Chain Management in Military Hospitals: A Case Study
Background and Aim: The medical equipment supply chain management is one of the main challenges for hospitals and medical centers. Meanwhile, military hospitals need more serious attention because of their critical position. The purpose of this study is to identify and prioritize the factors affecting the management of medical equipment supply chain in a military hospital in Tehran and finally ...
متن کاملInteractions between Brown-out Accidents and Night Vision Equipment in Military Aviation Accidents
Night vision devices (NVDs) mitigate risks in low visibility operations through image intensification or infrared imaging. However, NVDs create new risks, including a host of human factors problems. The operation of night vision equipment has been associated with several different forms of spatial disorientation. The following pages describe how this disorientation exacerbates the hazards creat...
