| Abstract | To manage Research and Development (R&D) is one of the most difficult tasks because R&D
is unique, creative, and unstructured process. Since now, no proper and effective system for
managing R&D projects of Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF). This study is conducted in order to
identify relevant and appropriate Key Performance Indicators (KP Is) and to measure the
performance of RTAF's R&D projects. The balanced scorecard is an appropriate tool to
identify KPis because it integrates four critical perspectives such as mission, customer,
internal process, and learning and growth perspectives. To ensure the applicability of KPls, the
validation is done by forty-two respondents from strategic and operational units. Then the
completed sets of KPis with weight are systematically developed. Accordingly, eighteen
projects in various phases are subject to survey by means of in-depth interviews and verifying
the documents. The result shows that the performance of RTAF's R&D projects in various
phases are unbalanced and need to be improved among four critical perspectives. Performance
measurement system is proposed in order to improve the project performance by balancing
among four critical perspectives, between short run and long run, and between intangible
assets and tangible assets.
