dc.description.abstract | Science and Technology (S&T) programs serve an important function in the defense acquisition process as the initial phase leading to discovery and development of warfighting technology. The results of these programs impact the larger Major Defense Acquisition Programs that integrate the technologies in subsequent phases of the lifecycle. Despite this important role, little prior research has examined the performance of S&T programs. Therefore, we investigate the impact of technological maturation as a critical success factor in S&T programs. The results suggest that S&T programs with mature technologies are more likely to experience above average cost growth and larger contract values while being less likely to experience schedule growth. Additionally, we find the partnership method between the government and contractor matters for both technological maturation and schedule growth. Lastly, the nature of the S&T program is important, with aerospace programs more likely to technologically mature than human systems programs. | en_US |
