Abstract

Technology Readiness Assessment (TRA) based on the TRL scale is a process aimed at minimizing problems in defining the stage of maturation of technologies, as well as providing efficient communication between specialists, managers and other stakeholders in organizations that acquire products and systems of high technological level. In this context, the work analyzes the customization of the TRA process from the perspective of a focal organization. For this purpose, we use as a case study the DCT (Department of Science and Technology), focal organization of a network for the development of defense technologies and products within the Brazilian Army (EB). The data collected came from the bibliographic review (study of customizations made by reference organizations in the national and international scenarios) and empirical data from DCT programs. With this data, it was possible to propose a framework methodology in the TRL scale customized to the specificities of EB.
