Guidance: Use the following template to create the contents of the TRA. This template is based
on Appendix A. Submitting a Technology Readiness Assessment of the DOD TRA Deskbook.
Instructions: TBD
References: DOD Technology Readiness Assessment (TRA) Deskbook, July 2009. This
document provides extensive guidance.
matrixed to the program. Usually, the PM will provide most of the data and other information
that form the basis of a TRA. Nevertheless, the assessment should be independent of the PM.
Tells how CTEs were identified (i.e., the process and criteria used and who
identified them). States what analyses and investigations were performed when
making the assessment (e.g., examination of test setups, discussions with test personnel,
analysis of test data, review of related technology, and so forth).
This is only a broad description of the process. Paragraph 3.3 presents an opportunity to include
more detail.
Applies the criteria for Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) and assigns a readiness level to the
technology. States the readiness level (e.g., TRL 6) and the rationale for choosing this readiness
level. Describes differing opinions for arriving at a particular TRL and the method of
adjudication.
Provides extensive references to papers, presentations, data, and facts that support the
assessments. Includes data tables and graphs that illustrate the appropriateness of key facts.
These references/tables/graphs can be included as an appendix.
If the CTEs presented are in categories (e.g., airframe or sensors), the information specified in
the previous paragraph (e.g., describing the technology, A-6 describing the function it performs,
and so forth) should be provided for each CTE within a category.
The TRA should be signed “Approved By” the Component S&T Executive, or it should be
transmitted with a cover memorandum that clearly states that the TRA represents the position of
the Component S&T Executive. In effect, the Component S&T Executive must certify that he/she
stands behind the statements in the conclusion.
Finally, the TRA should be signed by the Component Acquisition Executive (CAE).
