A TRA examines program concepts, technology requirements, and demonstrated technology capabilities. This guide is intended to assist Department of Defense (DoD) acquisition programs to conduct high-quality TRAs and to identify the critical technology elements (CTEs) a program should assess through a TRA.
A Technology Readiness Assessment (TRA) is a systematic, metrics-based process that assesses the maturity of, and the risk associated with, critical technologies to be used in Major Defense Acquisition Programs (MDAPs). It is conducted by the Pro-gram Manager (PM) with the assistance of an independent team of subject matter experts (SMEs).
A Technology Readiness Assessment (TRA) is an evaluation to determine whether a technology is mature enough to include in a larger system. A TRA examines program concepts, technology requirements, and demonstrated technology capabilities. Two key terms are used in TRAs. The first is “critical technology element” (CTE).
1 sty 2012 · This manual is intended to be a practical developmental guide in program design for either improving current programs or creating new programs.
Program design and development – a process that an organization uses to develop a program. It is most often an iterative process involving research, consultation, initial design, testing and redesign. A program design is the plan of action that results from that process.
