There are two configurations under consideration. The Systems Engineering Team has determined that each configuration will meet the required mission needs in terms of system performance. Your task is to determine the best configuration in terms of the lowest lifecycle cost. Figure $1$ shows the program lifecycle profile. Tables $1-11$ provides data that was collected as part the Analysis of Alternatives $($AoA$).($HINT: You may not use all of the information provided.$)$ A$.$ Develop a Lifecycle Cost Summary shown the detailed costs for both system alternatives given a $10-$year lifecycle. Only assume undiscounted costs in your cost summary. $($HINT: A successful answer will be in the format Cost Collection Worksheet in the M$11-1$ Notes$).$ B$.$ Develop a graph of the lifecycle cost by phase. $($HINT: See M$11-1.)$ C$.$ Which system shall be selected based on cost alone? D$.$ What are the non$-$cost systems engineering factors should also be considered?
