A customização de processos de avaliação de prontidão tecnológica baseados na escala TRL: desenvolvimento de uma metodologia para o Exército Brasileiro

Technology Readiness Assessment (TRA) based on the TRL scale is a process that aims to minimize 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 high-tech products and systems. In this context, the work analyzes the customization of the APT process from the perspective of a focal organization. To this end, the DCT (Department of Science and Technology) is used as a case study. The DCT is the focal organization of a network for the development of defense technologies and products within the scope of the Brazilian Army. The data collected came from the literature review (study of customizations made by reference organizations in the national and international scenarios) and from empirical data from DCT programs. With these data, it was possible to propose a customized methodology for the specificities of the Brazilian Army.
