IRL

Level	IRL Definition
7	The integration of technologies has been verified and validated with sufficient detail to be actionable
6	The integrating technologies can accept, translate, and structure information for its intended application
5	There is sufficient control between technologies neccesary to establish, manage, and terminate the integration
4	There is sufficient detail in the quality and assuranceof the integration between technologies
3	There is compatibility between technologies to orderly and efficiently integrate and interact
2	There is some level of specificity to characterize the interaction between technolgoies through their interface
1	An interface between technologies has been identified with sufficient detail to allow characterization of the relationship

5	System high-risk component technology development should have been defined and the vaseline has been allocated
4	System performance specifications and constraints should have been defined and the baseline has been allocated
3	System high-risk immature technologies have been indetified and prototyped
2	System materiel solution should have been considered
1	System alternative materiel solutions should have been considered
