This model assists in the development of optimum programme solutions by allowing large numbers of options to be rapidly engineered and analysed. Total cost estimates can be rapidly produced allowing variations in many of the option parameters.

METEOR provides rapid support to operational analysis studies by allowing rapid comparison of the trade between affordability, value for money and capability, in turn releasing operational requirements to examine extended or new option sets.

METEOR provides visibility of:

• Finance - Current Cost and Present Value comparators.
• Options and Drivers - Through the life cycle.
• Budgets - EPP and ESP budgets shown as CDEL and RDEL.
• Audit Trail - A Master Data and Assumptions List.

Features Include:

• Exploitation targets and technologies.
• Timescales and quantities.
• Procurement strategies and estimate assumptions.
• 'drag and drop' or 'shopping list' option selection.
