The MRL Matrix is an expansion of the "Definitions and Descriptions" and includes:
Figure 17-2 The MRL Matrix
The matrix allows a user to separately trace and understand the maturation progress of each of the threads and sub-threads as readiness levels increase from MRL 1 though MRL 10. These thread and sub-thread MRL criteria should be applied when appropriate to the situation and may be tailored to a particular technology, or application, or production environment. For example, a pilot line for a mass assembly product like a Humvee is going to be different than a pilot line for an aircraft like the Joint Strike Fighter, or for small build programs like satellites.
