  • Use a common terminology across diverse organizations
  • Promote testing and verification to asses maturity
  • Gauge progress to plan future level of effort needed to achieve maturity
  • Help manage schedule and cost risks
  • Provide assurance that technologies will function as intended.
  • HRLs are designed to complement TRLs during technology development.
