Abstract:
High technology research projects like defense and space technologies etc. are undertaken by
Government of India departments like Defense Research and Development Organization
(DRDO) and Indian Space Research Organization. The new project proposals are subjected to
detailed review for its feasibility and completeness. This paper aims at identifying critical
parameters based on Systems Engineering principles for evaluation of such new project
proposals. A careful analysis of the parameters brings out the endogenous and exogenous
characteristics which are important for successful completion of research and development
projects. These parameters form the basis for deriving composite matrices which can be used
for evaluation and feasibility of new research project proposals
