Cost Engineering

Research to understand the integration of structural, aerodynamic, signature and control techniques for cost optimisation at the design stage.
Also includes work on structural design and materials requirements in the context of cost reductions.
Also includes work on cost modelling and analysis for land vehicles, equipment, and for space surveillance and satcom systems.
Also includes work to understand minimisation of cost in instances where there are technology obsolescence implications.
Also includes design for improved affordability.
