During the operation planning, the problem emerges of reliable estimate of the financial resources necessary for its execution. The cost price of an operation is a quantitative indicator, expressed in certain units of currency, showing all the costs that are somehow related to a specific operation. The dynamic character and correlation of different factors imply that each operation is performed in a different operational environment. Without understanding of complex operational environment, the determination of the cost may be a complete failure, even if the calculation is performed by best economic experts. The paper explains the way in which the elements of the operational environment may affect the cost of the operation, and how intelligence contributes to a more accurate cost calculation and rationalization. By analyzing the operational environment through the models explained, it is possible to foresee its impact on the cost of the operation.
