Abstract
TRL has a direct impact on development schedule and cost in the system or technology development projects. If TRL capability of development organization for specified CTEs can be accurately assessed and the impact of TRL on development schedule and cost are analyzed as detailed as possible, the risk of development schedule delay and cost increase can be minimized during the development process. This paper describes analysis results of TRL impact on development schedule and cost in the aerospace project. The development schedule and cost change are quantitatively estimated for the TRL improvement in the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV) system development program.
