Abstract
A mathematical model is developed for measuring and evaluating the performance of a research laboratory in meeting the needs to develop items that satisfy stated Army operational requirements. Three submodels are developed, with the overall laboratory model obtained through matrix multiplication. Illustrative examples have been created using Army research laboratory data. The model may be modified to include stochastic variables and data on the relative importance of projects and sciences.
