This report shares efforts to develop decision support frameworks for assessing the costs and benefits of digital engineering in defense weapon system programs.
RAND researchers worked to understand the costs and benefits of digital engineering in the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and develop a decision support framework for digital engineering activities in weapon system programs. The authors reviewed existing literature and developed decision support frameworks incorporating (1) established DoD cost-benefit analysis approaches and (2) established systems engineering decision methodologies.
