Technology Development Program
The technology development program aims at accelerating impact research that results in
commercialization and technology development. The objective of this program is to bridge
the gap between academic research and market and help researchers to develop innovative
technologies for a greater economic and social impact.
The technology development program provides funding of up to 100,000 SAR to research
projects with commercial values and would lead to creatingHi-Tech startups and
companies.
The project must lead to developing proof-of-concepts and prototypes at high technology
readiness level (6 and above).
Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs)
TRLs are a method for assessing the maturity of a particular
technology.
It's worth noting that different organizations may have slight
variations in their definitions of TRLs and there are also other variations in readiness
scale like DoD's (Department of Defense) Maturity of Technology Readiness Assessment
(MTR) and Military Maturity Readiness Level (MRL)
They typically range from 1 to 9, with the following levels:
-
Basic principles observed: Scientific research begins to be translated into
applied research and development.
-
Technology concept and/or application formulated: Conceptual design and analysis
of the technology are performed.
-
Analytical and experimental critical function and/or characteristic
proof-of-concept: Active research and development is conducted, including
laboratory studies and simulations.
-
Component and/or breadboard validation in laboratory environment: Basic
technological components are integrated to establish that they will work
together.
-
Component and/or breadboard validation in relevant environment: Basic
technological components are integrated and tested in a simulated environment
that represents the intended operational environment.
-
System/subsystem model or prototype demonstration in a relevant environment: A
model or prototype system is tested in a simulated operational environment.
-
System prototype demonstration in an operational environment: A prototype of the
complete system is tested in an operational environment.
-
Actual system completed and qualified through test and demonstration: The final
system is tested and demonstrated to be ready for production and deployment.
-
Actual system proven through successful mission operations: The system has been
proven through successful operations in its intended operational environment.
