FIGURE 4. PROGRAM RANKINGS

PEAT NPV Probabilities 100% SPQ-9B 99.94% SM-2 BLK 99.62% RDDL 97.61% Weather 95.41% BMD 89.90% MH-60R 89.37% CCOPS 77.58% CIWS-CEC 70.11% SSDS 61.34% NIFC-CA

This distinction is generally true for all other metrics. Data fromall metrics are compared to create a numerical ranking fromkey fgures. Although not black and white, this linear ranking helps in decision-making comparative analysis. Figure 5 shows the Probability Density Function (PDF) Curve Overlay where all the programs’ simulation results are overlaid on top of each other. Only the SPQ-9B has a positive NPV across all trials. This fnding is consistent with the results of the ACB Capability Comparison.
