초록

최근 국가 연구개발 과제의 성과물에 대한 실용화 또는 상업화 강화가 중요한 이슈로 떠오르고 있으며, 기술 실용화 관점에서 연구개발 과제를 체계적으로 관리할 수 있는 지원 도구에 대한 필요성이 높아지고 있다. 기존의 기술준비수준 모델은 기초 연구부터 실용화까지의 기술 개발 수준을 9개의 수준으로 나누어 각각의 수준에 대한 기준을 제시해 줌으로써 과제 관리를 위한 유용한 도구로 활용되어 왔다. 그러나 이 모델은 기술준비수준의 평가가 전문가에 의해 이루어져야 하며 구체적인 평가지표도 제시되어 있지 않기 때문에 다수의 과제로 구성된 국가 연구개발 사업에 적용하기에는 어려움이 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 델파이 기법을 활용하여 기존의 기술준비수준 모델을 대규모 국가 연구개발 과제에 적용할 수 있도록 각 수준에 대한 정의와 각 수준의 달성 여부를 결정하는 평가지표를 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 제시된 기술준비 수준 모델은 각 수준에 맞는 구체적인 평가기준을 제공함으로 대규모 국가 기술개발 과제의 연구개발에서 실용화까지의 전 과정을 관리하기 위한 도구로 적절하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

As practicalization and commercialization of the technologies invented from the national R&D(Research & Development) project has been emerging as an important issue, the need for a tool for R&D project management has been increased. Technology Readiness Levels model(TRL) has currently been used for R&D project management because it provides distinctive definition of the nine levels in the progress of technology development starting from the basic research level to the utilization level. However, it is difficult to adopt the model for a large-scale national R&D project in which multiple research projects are involved simultaneously. In addition, TRL demands evaluation of research projects done by relevant experts and offers no specific measures determining the level of technology development. This study uses Delphi method to develop the measurement system helping to determine technology readiness levels for the technologies invented in a large scale national R&D project. The proposed model includes definition and measurement scles for each level in TRL.
