A Suite of Tools for Technology Assessment

Abstract

Technology Assessment is a two-step process. The Technology Readiness Levels assessment provides the baseline maturity at the start of a program/project and is the basis for the preparation of the Technology Readiness Assessment Report required for delivery at PDR. The Advancement Degree of Difficulty assessment provides the basis for the development of the Technology Development Plan and for improved accuracy of the development of program/project cost, schedule and risk. Technology Assessment is vital to program/project success!
