Nine levels of Technology Readiness 9- Actual system “flight proven” through successful mission operations 8- Actual system completed and “flight qualified” through test and demonstration 7- System prototype demonstration in an operational environment 6- System/subsystem model or prototype demonstration in a relevant environment 5- Component and/or breadboard validation in relevant environment 4- Component and/or breadboard validation in laboratory environment 3- Analytical and experimental critical function and/or characteristic proof-of-concept 2- Technology concept and/or application formulated 1- Basic principles observed and reported Basic Technology Research- levels 1 and 2 Research to Prove Feasibility- levels 2 and 3 Technology Development- levels 3, 4, and 5 Technology Demonstration- levels 5 and 6 System/Subsystem Development- levels 6, 7, and 8 System Test, Flight and Operations- levels 8 and 9

Note: Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) enable consistent, uniform, discussions of technical maturity across different types of technologies. Decision authorities will consider the recommended TRLs when assessing program risk. TRLs are a measure of technical maturity. They do not discuss the probability of occurrence (i.e., the likelihood of attaining required maturity) or the impact of not achieving technology maturity. Defense Acquisition Guidebook, Chapter 10
