© Copyright QinetiQ Limited Concept Phase - Exemplar Exemplar: Assessment of Options for Auxiliary Warship Family of Advanced Cost Estimating Tool (FACET) used to generate the acquisition cost for the development and manufacture of 6 ships. Using the established performance criteria key Design inputs were identified and agreed. Excursions: −reduced displacement −smaller helicopter or fewer larger helicopters −fewer (vertical) replenishment points
