Some of the weapon systems and devices have stepped into the peak of maintenance requirements that will increase the maintenance cost and labors. In addition, the policies of the Ministry of National Defense trend to down size the organization. However, it will seriously affect the quality and readiness of the weapon systems. Based on literature review, this study found that American defense industries and U.S. military received benefits from employing the Performance Based Contract (PBC) and the Performance Based Logistics (PBL) for many years. So, the PBC and PBL are the options for our military on the weapon logistics and maintenance in the near future. The purpose of this study is to explore the feasibility of applying PBC on weapon systems maintenance. Based on the current general finance and labor service contracts, this study used a questionnaire to obtain experts’ opinions on increasing the performance incentive, penalty, and determining performance and payment criteria, those are the core of a PBC. This study concluded that PBC is suitable for weapon systems maintenance, which encourages the contractors to promote service effectiveness so as to increase the maintenance quality and to extend the shelf life of the weapon systems. How to implement the PBC in weapon systems maintenance could be further studied in the future.
