scope:

Use/Relationship: The Technical Work Breakdown Structure (TWBS) details the threshold compliant system design down to its lowest level of indenture appropriate for identifying and determining the maturity of Critical Technology Elements (CTEs). The Technology Maturation Plan (TMP) details the program's technology maturation roadmaps for each CTE to achieve Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) and the targeted maturity consistent with program acquisition strategy.

The Independent Technical Review Office (ITRO), along with an independent expert panel, shall use the TWBS and TMP to assess technology maturity and gauge risk to achieve TRLs by key acquisition knowledge points.

This Data Item Description (DID) contains the format, content, and intended use information for the data deliverable resulting from the work task described in the solicitation.
