Initially developed by the NASA for space related topics, the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) can be used to qualify
and monitor the maturity of any technology. A TRL based methodology is supposed to help include the right actors
at the right moment as the technology maturity increases.

In Europe, an equivalent of the TRLs 1-6 has been developed by EUROCONTROL for ATM topics: the European
Operational Concept Validation Methodology (E-OCVM).
