Technical Risk Analysis - Exploiting the Power of MBSE

Abstract : In his 2003 review into Defence procurement, Kinnaird recommended that for new acquisitions Defence undertake a comprehensive analysis of technology, cost and schedule risks and that Government needs to be assured that adequate scrutiny is undertaken by DSTO on technology feasibility, maturity and overall technical risk . As a result, DSTO performs Technical Risk Assessments (TRA) to inform major acquisition decisions during the Requirements phase of the Capability Development process.
