E{sub I} model user`s guide
- DGI Analysis and Engineering, Arlington, VA (United States)
The E{sub I} model and this program were developed to assist the Office of Munitions (OM) in planning and coordination of conventional munitions programs at the macro level. OM`s primary responsibilities include (1) development of an overall munitions acquisition strategy and (2) oversight of all DoD programs for conventional munitions Research and Development (R&D) and Procurement, as well as existing munitions inventories. In this role, OM faces the challenge of integrating Service budgets and priorities within the framework of overall DoD policy and objectives. OM must have a firm, quantitative basis for making acquisition decision and stockpile disposition recommendations. To do this, OM needs a rigorous but simple means for conducting top-level analyses of the overall conventional munitions program. This analysis must be founded on a consistent, quantitative process that allows for an assessment of the existing program, as well as the capability to compare and contrast alternative resource allocation recommendations. The E{sub I} model provides a means for quickly conducting a multitude of assessments across target classes, contingency areas, and for different planning scenarios. It is neither data intensive no is it a complex combat simulation. Its goal is to allow for rapid tradeoff analyses of competing munitions alternatives, relative to acquisition and stockpile mix.
