23 October Background ANEP-49 Ways to Reduce Costs of Ships Integrated approach Feasibility and consistency of designs

23 October ANEP-49 Ways to Reduce Costs of Ships Costs Life cycle disposalin-service production design & development introduction life cycle costs fixed spent

23 October Operational Effectiveness How does the platform perform its tasks? Taking into account realistic circumstances: Operational effectiveness Enemy attacks Non availability of systems

23 October Survivability How well is the platform equipped and prepared for executing tasks when being attacked? Survivability Follow-on missions cannot be executed Unexpected costs of reparation

23 October Sustainability How well is the platform equipped and prepared for executing tasks in normal circumstances? Sustainability How often do systems fail? How easy is maintenance? Enough spare parts?
