In recent years, significant technological developments have been recorded in Republic of Türkiye, especially in the field of defense industry. Incentive and support policies have been developed and some strategic goals to be achieved have been determined in order to sustain these developments in defense industry and other areas. Within this context, the National Scientific and Technological Research Council started a program in order to support the development of manufacturing technologies for the defense industry under the collaboration of leading defense industry companies and experienced universities on manufacturing processes. While the technical work within this research have important contributions to the economic and technical development in the country, it also has some effects on the national technology based strategic goals of the country. In this study, evaluation of the effects of the program on these targets is modeled as a multi-criteria decision making problem. Benefits-Costs-Opportunities-Risks (BOCR) based Analytic  Hierarchy Process (AHP) method is applied to evaluate the effects of the program on national technology based strategic goals and contribution of the program to each goal is calculated.
