| Summary/Abstract |
Way back in 1959, RAND Corporation, a think tank in the US listed four parameters for judging the success of military acquisition programmes. The four parameters are: System Performance (all the qualities that contribute to the effectiveness of a military system within its intended domain); Utility (the broader military value of the weapon system over and above whether it meets its specific performance goals); Time of Availability (initial operational availability) and Costs (development and production).
