Traction

TRL	NASA usage	DoD usage	European Union
1	Basic principles observed and reported	Scientific research begins to be translated into applied R&D	Basic principles observed
2	Technology concept and/or application formulated	Invention begins. Once basic principles are observed, practical applications can be invented	Technology concept formulated
3	Analytical and experimental critical function and/or characteristic proof-of concept	Active R&D is initiated. This includes analytical studies to produce code and laboratory studies to physically validate analytical predictions of separate technology HW/SW elements	Experimental proof of concept
4	Component and/or breadboard validation in laboratory environment	Basic technological components are integrated to establish that they will work together. System SW architecture development initiated to include interoperability, reliability, maintainability, extensibility, scalability and security issues	Technology validated in lab
5	Component and/or breadboard validation in relevant environment	The basic technological HW/SW components are integrated with reasonably realistic supporting elements so that they can be tested in a simulated environment	Technology validated in relevant environment (industrially relevant environment in the case of key enabling technologies)
6	System/subsystem model or prototype demonstration in a relevant environment (ground or space)	Examples include testing a prototype in a high-fidelity lab environment or a live/virtual experiment or in a simulated operational environment	Technology demonstrated in relevant environment (industrially relevant environment in the case of key enabling technologies)
7	System prototype demonstration in a space environment	Prototype near, or at, planned operational system. Algorithms run on processor of the operational environment integrated with actual external entities. SW support structure in place. SW releases are in distinct versions. Frequency and severity of SW deficiency reports do not significantly degrade functionality or performance. Verification, Validation and Accreditation (VV&A) completed	System prototype demonstration in operational environment
8	Actual system completed and "flight qualified" through test and demonstration (ground or space)	Technology and SW has been proven and demonstrated to work in its final form and under expected conditions. In almost all cases, TRL represents the end of true system development. Examples include developmental test and evaluation (T&E) of the system in its intended weapon system to determine if it meets design specifications	System complete and qualified
9	Actual system "flight proven" through successful mission operations	In almost all cases, this is the end of the last “bugfixing” aspects of system development. Examples include using the system under operational mission conditions. SW releases are production versions and configuration controlled. Frequency and severity of SW deficiencies are at a minimum	Actual system proven in operational environment (competitive manufacturing in the case of key enabling technologies; or in space)
