论文摘要
技术准备水平是资助，开发，测试，获取或使用技术的组织的中流阶段。技术准备水平提供了对技术成熟度的标准化评估，并可以在技术之间进行一致的比较。他们在整个技术的开发生命周期中为决策提供了信息，从概念到开发，再到使用。已经开发了各种替代准备水平，包括算法准备水平，制造准备水平，人类准备水平，商业化准备水平，机器学习准备水平和技术承诺水平。但是，尽管技术准备水平已越来越多地应用于新兴学科，但在评估迅速发展的自治能力方面面临着独特的挑战。本文采用了空间可信赖的自主准备水平的绰号，以确定适合评估寻求太空使用的自主技术的特殊挑战的二维准备和信任规模。它从其他准备级别的定义以及信任和可信赖的丰富领域中汲取灵感。空间可信赖的自主性准备水平是由一个协作空间可信赖的自治子组开发的，该子群是由美国太空部队，国家航空航天局和国家侦察办公室之间的太空科学与技术合作伙伴论坛创建的。
Technology Readiness Levels are a mainstay for organizations that fund, develop, test, acquire, or use technologies. Technology Readiness Levels provide a standardized assessment of a technology's maturity and enable consistent comparison among technologies. They inform decisions throughout a technology's development life cycle, from concept, through development, to use. A variety of alternative Readiness Levels have been developed, including Algorithm Readiness Levels, Manufacturing Readiness Levels, Human Readiness Levels, Commercialization Readiness Levels, Machine Learning Readiness Levels, and Technology Commitment Levels. However, while Technology Readiness Levels have been increasingly applied to emerging disciplines, there are unique challenges to assessing the rapidly developing capabilities of autonomy. This paper adopts the moniker of Space Trusted Autonomy Readiness Levels to identify a two-dimensional scale of readiness and trust appropriate for the special challenges of assessing autonomy technologies that seek space use. It draws inspiration from other readiness levels' definitions, and from the rich field of trust and trustworthiness. The Space Trusted Autonomy Readiness Levels were developed by a collaborative Space Trusted Autonomy subgroup, which was created from The Space Science and Technology Partnership Forum between the United States Space Force, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the National Reconnaissance Office.
