The Weapons Acquisition Process: An Economic Analysis, the calculations disclose overruns, excess of actual over estimated costs, at an average of 3.2 times original cost estimates, and schedule slip-pages at 1.36 times original estimates. Part of the disparity between estimated and actual performances the authors attribute to the unknowns involved — the development of new and unfamiliar products, and part to the "marketing strategy" of defense contractors —quoting low estimates in order to ensure receipt of the contract.
