Abstract In this document, we survey the state of the art for technology readiness assessments through the use of established metrics, we propose a Model‐Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach that streamlines the process, and we provide a specific implementation of this approach with our TRA Tool. The TRA Tool provides a methodology for completing a Technology and System Readiness Assessment in a model‐based environment. The tool allows for the efficient collection and management of data on the maturation schedule of each technology and integration of a complex system design in a SysML based architecture model. It produces numerous useful diagram views and metrics to support analysis of a design's maturity.
