TRL 5
Technology validated in a relevant environment that begins resembling operational conditions.
TRL 6
Prototype demonstrated in a relevant operational environment. Considered the beginning of serious transition activities.
TRL 7
System prototype demonstrated in an operational environment. Near field-ready.
TRL 8
Actual system completed, tested, and qualified for operational use.
TRL 9

Applied Artificial Intelligence (AAI)

Develop and deploy AI that directly improves military decision-making, autonomy, planning, intelligence, logistics, cyber operations, and battlefield effectiveness.

Biomanufacturing (BIO)

Leverage biology and advanced manufacturing to produce materials, chemicals, medicines, fuels, sensors, and other biological products that enhance military readiness while strengthening domestic supply chains.

Contested Logistics Technologies (LOG)

Ensure military forces can move, sustain, repair, and resupply operations even when traditional supply chains are disrupted by enemy action.

Quantum & Battlefield Information Dominance (Q-BID)

Maintain information superiority by enabling secure communications, precise navigation, advanced sensing, and electromagnetic dominance in contested environments where GPS or communications may be denied.

Scaled Directed Energy (SCADE)

Develop affordable, producible directed energy weapons and supporting technologies capable of defeating threats with speed, precision, and low cost per engagement.

Scaled Hypersonics (SHY)

Develop and manufacture affordable hypersonic weapons and supporting technologies capable of operating at speeds exceeding Mach 5.
