Abstract
In addition to considering the functional performance characteristics requirements of the product, reliability requirements should be also considered in the current product design. However, the reliability requirements of products have not been fully considered in the assessment method of TRL. This may lead the result of TRL assessment distortion and cannot help developers identify project technology risks accurately. Aiming at this, this paper improves the traditional TRL assessment method, and proposes a new TRL assessment method that considers reliability requirements. First of all, we expound the method of CTE recognition. Secondly, the TRL definition which incorporated with the reliability requirements has been proposed. Thirdly, the criteria of TRL has been put forward. Then the assessment method of the TRL has been given. Finally, the influence of reliability requirements on TRL has been described.
Highlights
Technology Readiness Levels(TRLs) are a systematic metric/measurement system that support assessments of the maturity of a particular technology and the consistent comparison of maturity between different types of technology [1]
The reliability of the system entities integrated by the technologies to be evaluated may not be ensured. It will make the result of TRL assessment distortion and cannot help developers accurately identify project technology risks
When constructing the Technology Breakdown based on the definition of the original TRL definition, so Structure(TBS), the Work Breakdown Structure(WBS) that the designers can consider the reliability requirements should be determined firstly
Summary
Technology Readiness Levels(TRLs) are a systematic metric/measurement system that support assessments of the maturity of a particular technology and the consistent comparison of maturity between different types of technology [1]. In the assessment of the TRL, the current formulation of TRL criteria always considers the technical status, technical carrier, verification environment, process design, manufacturing process, equipment and facilities, cost management and so on [2,3]. They do not fully consider reliability requirements [2]. The reliability of the system entities integrated by the technologies to be evaluated may not be ensured It will make the result of TRL assessment distortion and cannot help developers accurately identify project technology risks. The influence of reliability on the assessment results of TRL is described
