Abstract

This work proposes the use of model-based sensitivity analysis to determine important internal factors that affect the cost of a large-scale complex engineered systems (LSCES), such as geo-stationary communication satellites. A physics-based satellite simulation model and a parametric cost model are combined to model a real-world satellite program whose data is extracted from selected acquisitions reports. A variance-based global sensitivity analysis using Sobol’ indices computationally aids in establishing internal factors. The internal factors in this work are associated with requirements of the program, operations and support, launch, ground equipment, personnel required to support and maintain the program. The results show that internal factors such as the system based requirements affect the cost of the program significantly. These important internal factors will be utilized to create a simulation-based framework that will aid in the design and development of future LSCES.
