STRIPE

DFM Consulting can evaluate, in dollars, potential technologies that can enable or improve your capability or system. Our unique family of value models quantitatively assess technologies from the user perspective, emphasizing technology pull over push. Our analysis routinely addresses real options, risk, and discounting for time.

At DFM, we have built and used technology value models for:

  • Commercial aircraft (large airliners, regional jets, and business jets)
  • Multi-role fighter jets
  • Space launch systems
  • Electrical power plants
  • Defense systems against suicide bombers
  • Commercial helicopters
  • Marine surveillance and interdiction
  • Commercial trucks
  • Chemical and biological weapon defense
  • Electronic attack weapons
  • Spacecraft
  • Missile defense
  • UAV's
  • Long range strike aircraft

The resulting evaluations have been used by four major aerospace companies, by the Pentagon, and by independent research groups. No challenge is too abstract or complex for our decision-theoretic methods.
