In the Core Technology R&D of the defence area, the development of the related core element technology could be the foundation to develop advanced weapon system in the future. But it might make various problems if you can not accurately define the TRL of the element technology. In other words, if the technology is not sufficiently mature and then the project starts, it might require an increase in the development period and additional cost. Finally the system will be in an incomplete state and result in user dissatisfaction and the project failure. Therefore it is a very important task to properly assess the TRL for a successful project. In this study, We propose the method for risk management of core technology R&D project of the defence area using the QFD process with degree of difficulty and technology readiness level. It is also presented the process to determine the risk level using TRL and Degree of difficulty. Finally We apply this method to UGV system for verifying the result of this study.

In this study, the effective technology readiness assessment (TRA) method for system development project is suggested. We analyze the domestic and foreign TRA practice and derive the new idea to resolve the problems found from the analysis. Domestic and foreign organizations develop and use checklist for the precise TRA, but the checklist has some problems in type of questions and analysis of assessment. TRA method using the original TRL definition or the checklist should be selected depending on the project characteristic. Questions of the checklist should be classified into critical or non-critical according to their importance. Finally, Test and evaluation master plan (TEMP) in system engineering process can provide an obvious criteria to assess technology readiness level (TRL) of critical technology elements (CTE) composing the system.

Purpose: Simple part or equipment is necessary TRA(Technology Readiness Assessment) or MRA(Manufacturing Readiness Assessment). But sole maturity like TRA, MRA has limit complex systems or SoS(System of System). Especially complex weapon system need from the System Maturity Point of view. This research shows necessity of SRA(System Readiness Assessment). Methods: In case of complex systems, it is essential to SRA(System Readiness Assessment). For the purpose of calculating SRL(System Readiness Level), TRL and IRL must be calculated. And then SRL can obtain know from equation of TRL and IRL. To prove SRA effectiveness, it is calculated SRL of JTDLS(Joint Tactical DataLink System) programs. Results: SRA procedure is proposed and case study shows as examples of JTDLS programs. Although result of TRA is TRL6, result of SRA is not 0.6. From this research, we can know necessity of SRA. Especially complex systems or SoS(System of System) is essential to SRA. Conclusion: SRA(System Readiness Assessment) is required to overcome limitation of sole maturity and to achieve a successful acquisition of high quality weapon system. This research intended to suggest SRA procedure and case study in complex defense system.

최근 지식기반 경쟁시대가 도래함에 따라, 우리나라를 포함한 주요 선진국은 R&D 투자를 확대하고, R&D사업의 성과확산 정책을 추진하고 있다. 이를 위해 미국의 NASA, DoD 등의 기관은 정량화된 성관관리 지표로서, 기술성숙도(TRL)를 정의하고, 이를 기준으로 판단하는 기술성숙도 평가체계(TRA)를 도입하여 활용하고 있으며, 이러한 도구는 특히 실용화를 목적으로 하는 R&D사업에 매우 효과적인 것으로 평가되고 있다. 이와 같은 개념은 실용화를 목적으로 하는 국내 국가 건설교통 R&D사업에 적용했을 때, 현재 연구내용의 학술적 성과에 치중되어있는 평가체계의 단점을 극복하고 실용화 달성의 취지를 크게 개선할 수 있을 것으로 기대되며, 따라서 본 연구에서는 TRL 및 TRA 개념과 국내 국가 건설교통 R&D사업의 특성 및 현행 평가 관리체계를 분석하여 실용화 목적 달성을 위한 건설교통 R&D 사업의 TRL TRA 수행 모델을 제시하였다.

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.

The KSLV-II project with high difficulties technically requires thorough technical management during long-term life cycle more than 10 years for launching into space. The TRL is a quantitative indicator developed by NASA widely used all over the world to measure technology maturity of a system development objectively and consistently. The TRL is also used to make sure technology level and to establish a future direction in the KSLV-II project. The TRL has advantage enable to identify a technology level through quantitative indicators. However, it takes a lot of efforts such as trials and errors, time and cost to apply it to the project considering the project environments, and stakeholder needs. These include not only to establish TRL management plan from ideal, conceptual and abstractive standards/guidelines such as NASA's, but also to construct TRL management environment enable to apply and manage harmoniously. In the KSLV-II project, it is required to figure out current technology level and technology development trend in the future, to access conveniently, to share related data in real time, and to update periodically for the comprehensive TRL management. From the reason above, the TRL management environment was built by using the systems engineering tool already has been used for other system management data such as requirements in the project. It also could be accomplished a practical management basis of systems engineering from the traceability among system management data including TRL. In this paper, case study results are introduced to manage the TRL for the space launch vehicle using the systems engineering tool in the KSLV-II project.

In order to improve national competitiveness through technological research and development, the government puts in R&D budget every year and manages to improve the R&D results. Accordingly, various R&D project management methods have applied for successful advancement of technology and product. TRL is a measurement system developed by NASA to assess the maturity of technology since the 1970s. To apply medical device, the characteristics such as regulation, clinical trials are considered as a significant influence. In this study, we would like to derive PMI(performance measures index) for medical device R&D projects by using TRL and stage-gate model. As a result of this study, it is possible to use the PMI for decision making and evaluation in the R&D projects and believed that the objectivity can be ensured by the approval or certification of regulatory authority.

The purpose of this paper analyze development feasibility and alternatives for infrared detector development in both technology and cost. Infrared Detector is core component of Thermal Imaging System and developed by ADD from 2006 10 2008 year. We got raw input data from development and technical expert, and then analyze cost and technology for development feasibility, and alternatives study. Technology level is analyzed by TRL(Technology Readiness Level) and AOA(Analysis of Alternatives) is done by development cost estimate. Estimating the development cost, we use SEER-H that is parametric cost estimating tool based on Knowledge Base. This study can help those who are related to the cost and development feasibility analysis of other weapon systems.

미래의 궁극에너지로 인식되고 있는 핵융합에너지 개발을 위해서는 DEMO라는 최종 실증 단계를 거쳐야만 한다. 특히 중국, EU, 일본 등의 주요 국가는 DEMO 건설에 대한 구체적 계획을 수립하고 이를 실행 중에 있다. 한국도 1995년부터 KSTAR 사업을 시작으로 핵융합 연구개발에 착수한 점을 감안하면, 핵융합에너지 상용화라는 최종 목표달성 뿐만 아니라, 주요 국가와 DEMO 경쟁 상황에서 주도권을 확보하기 위한 본격적 연구개발이 필요하다. 이에 본 논문에서는 DEMO 개발을 위한 핵심기술을 파악하기 위하여 준정량적 방법론을 적용, 해당 분야의 핵심기술을 도출함으로써 우선적으로 연구개발이 필요한 기술을 식별하여 향후 연구개발 추진시 기술별 우선순위를 제안하고자 한다. 이를 위한 핵융합 에너지 개발과 관련하여 핵융합의 과학적 원리, 주요국가의 DEMO 개발 동향 등을 파악한다. 다음으로 핵융합 실증로와 관련된 기술분류 체계를 검토하여 분석할 기술분류 체계를 선정한다. 선정된 기술체계에 준정량적 방법론으로 기술수준(TRL)을 파악하고 이를 보완하기 위하여 분석적 계층화 과정(AHP)을 적용한다. TRL과 AHP의 결과를 종합하여 우선적으로 확보해야 할 핵융합 실증로의 핵심기술은 실증로용 연소 플라즈마 기술, 대면재료기술, 구조재기술, 고주파 가열장치 기술, 중성입자빔 장치기술, 안전기술, 연소플라즈마 진단장치기술, 핵융합로 시뮬레이터기술 등으로 나타났다.
