Technology readiness levels

The technology readiness level (TRL) for the FSW of aluminum alloys is high, with successful industrial implementation and space flight quah-fication by Boeing on the 2014 A1 propellant tanks of the Delta II and Delta IV space launch... 

Determine if any of the AEA Technologies, Teledyne Commodore, and Foster Wheeler/Eco Logic technologies have reached a technology readiness level sufficient to proceed with implementation of a pilot-scale program. 

In the statement of task for this report, the committee was asked to determine if any of the technology packages chosen for demonstrations have reached a technology readiness level sufficient to proceed with implementation of a pilot-scale. The ACW II committee s evaluations of the maturity of each unit operation are described in this report. Table 5-1 summarizes the committee s assessments. How-... 

The state of technology of a single feature influences the complexity. The complexity decreases the closer a technology is to a commercial application, meaning a high Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of a feature has lower technical and economic risks, and so a lower complexity. 

They present a benchmark of the complexity of a biorefmery in terms of involved platforms, feedstocks, processes, and products, and their specific and overall Technology Readiness Level. ... 

Systems technology requires different intermediate steps for successful system development. In the 1980s, the air and space industry developed a scale for evaluating the distance to commerciali2ation [1, 2]. This scale, known as the technology readiness level (TRL), contains nine different levels.

Trying to rate adaptronics in aerospace on the basis of NAS As Technology Readiness Level (TRL) brings it currently no much higher than to TRL 5 or 6 (component validation) on the 9 levels scale to be achieved when considering a system to be flight proven. 

There is already some convergence occurring between safety, security and multicore. ARINC 653 and IMA technologies have increased in technology readiness levels over the last decade, moving from the laboratory to successful deployment on civil and military aircraft programmes. 

While screen channel LADs in cryogenic liquids are at a general technology readiness level of TRL-5, on a systems level, the remaining three steps to obtain the highest possible readiness level are ...
