An Investigation of the Effectiveness, Selection and Evaluation of Navy Exploratory Development Programs.

Abstract

An investigation is made of the Navy Exploratory Development Program; its newly revamped management system, its organization and underlying rationale. The investigation then addresses the processes of program selection, review and evaluation as applied to technology base programs, followed by an overview of a methodology called Evaluation Research as it applies to goal oriented programs. The paper is directed toward determining the effectiveness of technology base programs, with a major emphasis on the changing structure of the Exploratory Development Program within the Department of Defense.
