Technology Readiness Level (TRL#)

Please explain:
…
TRL# Technology Readiness Level
Description
1
Basic principles
Lowest level of technology readiness. Scientific research begins to be translated
into applied research and development (R&D). Examples might include paper
studies of a technology’s basic properties.
2
Technology concept
Basic principles are observed. Applications are speculative, and there may be no
proof or detailed analysis to support the assumptions. Examples are limited to
analytic studies.
3
Proof of concept
Active R&D is initiated. This includes analytical studies and laboratory studies to
physically validate the analytical predictions of separate elements of the
technology. Examples include components that are not yet integrated or
representative.
4
Validation in laboratory
environment
Basic technological components are integrated to establish that they will work
together. Examples include integration of “ad hoc” hardware in the laboratory.
5
Validation in relevant
environment
The basic technological components are integrated with reasonably realistic
supporting elements so they can be tested in a simulated environment. Examples
include laboratory integration of components.
6
Prototype demonstration in a
relevant environment
Representative model or prototype system, which is well beyond that of TRL 5, is
tested in a relevant environment. Represents a major step up in a technology’s
demonstrated readiness. Examples include testing a prototype in a laboratory
environment or in a simulated operational environment.
7
System prototype
demonstration in an operational
environment
Prototype near or at planned operational system. Represents a major step up from
TRL 6 by requiring demonstration of an actual system prototype in an operational
environment.
8
Actual system completed and
qualified through test and
demonstration
Technology has been proven to work in its final form and under expected
conditions. In almost all cases, this TRL represents the end of true system
development. Examples include developmental test and evaluation (DT&E) of the
system in its intended system to determine if it meets design specifications.
9
Actual system proven through
successful usage
Actual application of the technology in its final form and conditions. Technology is
commercially available.
