| 2.1.1-6-1 Ensure technical assessment activities are planned and executed to measure technical progress and the effectiveness of plans and requirements |
Phase A |
Phase B |
Phase C |
|
Ensure technology readiness assessments(TRA) are performed to assess the maturity of technologies used in or proposed for the system. Ensure a TRA Plan and schedule is established. Technology readiness assessments are required at major acquisition milestones - Milestones B and C. DOD 5000.2-R suggests, but does not mandate, the utilization of TRLs in execution of the TRA. Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) are defined in DOD 5000.2-R

| 2.1.1-6-2 Ensure evidence of technology maturity is demonstrated in relevant environment |
Phase A |
Phase B |
Phase C |
|
Ensure appropriate data and information are provided to assess whether the technologies of the program have been demonstrated in a relevant environment. Information should include component or subsystem test descriptions, environments, and results in the context of the system's functional needs in order to perform assessment of technology maturity as need. Any other analyses and information necessary to assess and rationalize the maturity of the technologies should also be included.

| 2.1.1-6-3 Ensure all critical technologies are identified |
Phase A |
Phase B |
Phase C |
|
A technology is critical if the system being acquired depends on it to meet the system operational requirements (including key performance parameters and cost) in development, production, and operation and if the technology or it application is either new or novel.
