Abstract: This paper describes a multi-objective formulation of a research resource allocation decision which treats both project selection and funding level considerations. The procedure, which is now being integrated into the planning process for ballistic missile defense technology management, should find many applications in research management activity. We will illustrate the procedure with an actual ballistics missile defense case situation involving six research projects relating to various aspects of strategic defense systems analysis. All descriptive data used in the case is from the 1979 fiscal year.
