Models, Data, And War:

A Critique Of The Foundation

For Def-en-seAnalyses



Under such names as operations research,
computer modeling, and cost-effectiveness
analysis, quantitative tools and methods have
come to play a prominent role in the analysis
of public policy issues.

Weapon systems costing hundreds of millions
or billions of dollars, composition of future
forces, and other defense planning and deci-
sionmaking often are justified in part, or
supported, by quantitative studies.  DOD
estimates that the annual cost of such studies
is about a quarter of a billion dollars.

This report's recommendations are intended
to make Defense studies and analyses more
responsive to the needs of high-echelon deci-
sionmakers.
