| TRL | NASA usage | DoD usage[1] | 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 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 | System prototype demonstration in operational environment | |
| 8 | Actual system completed and "flight qualified" through test and demonstration (ground or space) | System complete and qualified | |
| 9 | Actual system "flight proven" through successful mission operations | Actual system proven in operational environment (competitive manufacturing in the case of key enabling technologies; or in space) |
