Research on the effect mechanism of national defense science and technology award on defense technological innovation

National defense science and technology award is one of the key driving forces to promote defense technological innovation. However, the form, regular pattern and the mechanism of the award influencing defense technological innovation are still scarce. A modified structure equation model was established by the survey of nine institutions, which won the award, and the verification method based on the established theoretical model. The effective mechanism of the award on the innovation was investigated quantitatively by the modified model on the basis of the hypothesis.
