National R&D projects are managed on a process-based basis from planning to follow-up management as well as step-by-step performance measurements, so I think it is appropriate to apply the 6th edition of PMBOK accordingly. What do you think?

The PMBOK Guide (and the framework which it addresses) can be applied to ANY type of project as tailoring the life cycle and approach to fit the context of your project is expected.

The origins of project management date back to the US Department of Defense in the 1950-60s due to excessive cost and schedule overruns. That includes the space program, so it includes a lot of R&D, and constitutes a large portion of the PMBoK.

Not only is it appropriate, but that speaks to its intended use.
