To summarize, based on the research performed thus far, the researcher concludes that the methodology has significant merits and is worthy of more detailed follow-on analysis. It is therefore recommended that the portfolio optimization methodology outlined in this research be further applied on various cases facing the U.S. Navy and DoD in general, using actual data and tracking the project’s outcomes over time. The approach described does not necessarily have to be performed in lieu of existing methods, but in conjunction with them. What the DoD currently does is correct and relevant, and this article only suggests additional value-
added insights and approaches that only beneft the decisionmaker. The more informationdecisionmakers have, the better informed they will be and the better their decision outcomes will be.
