IGCE: The Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE) is and was based on a bottoms-up-analysis, using a combination of historical values, engineering assessment, and observed industry actuals. Specifically, AFLCMC/ HBN leveraged actual material costs for the individual items that make up the DART from the TPS-77/LRR Iraq IADS LRR-3 Contract No. FA8730-19-C-0008, as well as the individual DART materials cost from the TPS-77 Jordan Gap Filler Multi-Mode Radar (GFR) Contract No. FA8730-17-C-0005. The ECU independent estimate was based on market research results of comparable units and the Mode 5 Test support was based on engineering assessment of anticipated number of labor hours needed to complete the testing and observed industry standards for test equipment.
