Slide2 : Afloat Prepositioning Considerations
Purpose of NAVSEA Study : Purpose of NAVSEA Study Provide cost estimate of probable system(s) for POM 04 budget submittal
Study may not identify the best system but will illuminate important key criteria and significant cost drivers
Provide decision makers (N42) insight as to the important critical decision factors, alternatives, and costs
