Technology Readiness Assessment (TRA) Deskbook

Abstract

The body of this document is a concise description of suggested procedures for meeting the Technology Readiness Assessment (TRA) requirements of the Defense Acquisition System (DAS). The intent is to provide the staff of the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Science and Technology (DUSD(S&T)) a working appreciation of the overall TRA process, with enough detail to allow them to meet their staff responsibilities. The potential benefit to other Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) and Service Component participants is recognized. This deskbook should give those involved with TRAs a greater understanding of how TRAs fit into defense acquisition and what is expected by the DUSD(S&T). The DUSD(S&T) serves as the staff proponent for TRAs for the Director of Defense Research and Engineering (DDR&E).
