Technology Readiness Level (TRL) – Overview

Leave a Comment / Tasks / By

Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) are a method of estimating the technology maturity of Critical Technology Elements (CTE) of a program during the research, development, and deployment phase of the acquisition process. They are determined during a Technology Readiness Assessment (TRA) that examines program concepts, technology requirements, and demonstrated technology capabilities. TRLs”s were originally developed by […]

Technology Development Strategy (TDS)

Leave a Comment / Tasks / By

Note: The Technology Development Strategy (TDS) is no longer required for DoD Programs according to DoD Instruction 5000.02. A programs technology development approach is now detailed in a programs Acquisition Strategy. The Technology Development Strategy (TDS) describes the acquisition approach that will be undertaken to mature key technologies and maturation efforts to Initial Operational Capability (IOC).

Proposal Compliance Matrix

Leave a Comment / Tasks / By

A Proposal Compliance Matrix is a cross-reference table that tells proposal evaluators where they can find responses to specific Request for Proposal (RFP) requirements. It helps ensure proposal managers that the proposal responds to and complies with all the Proposal requirements. A Compliance Matrix should form part of each proposal volume and is normally requested

Modeling & Simulation Overview

Leave a Comment / Tasks / By

Modeling and Simulation (M&S) is the use of models, including emulators, prototypes, simulators, and stimulators, either statically or over time, to develop data as a basis for making managerial or technical decisions. It attempts to represent real-world processes, equipment, people, activities and environments. It’s used mostly during the Technology Development (TD) Phase of the Acquisitions

Cost Estimating

Cost Estimating Overview

Leave a Comment / Tasks / By

Cost Estimating is the process of developing a cost estimate. Cost estimating involves collecting and analyzing historical data and applying quantitative models, techniques, tools, and databases to predict a program’s future cost. More simply, cost estimating combines science and art to predict the future cost of something based on known historical data that are adjusted
