Annex B
Indicative Structure of Technical Risk Assessment
Technical Risk Assessment – Executive Summary
Introduction
Aim of Project
Overview of project, its objectives and assumptions
Project requirements
Description of Proposed Options
System Description
System breakdown & System boundaries
Technical dependencies on current and future ADF systems
Methodology
A short description of how the likelihoods and impacts were assessed. Where
expert judgement is used this should identify the experts involved and their
area of expertise, including experts in risk assessment and subjective
knowledge elicitation.
Technology Risks
Significant areas of technology immaturity and associated risks from Annex A

For a MOTS/COTS option there may be no technology risks in which case
there may be no need to include that option in this section
Technical Risks
Significant areas of sub-system immaturity and associated risks from Annex B
for each option. For Second Pass TRA this could include a description of how
risks have changed since First Pass.
Technical Risk Drivers (if appropriate)
Are there any areas of technical risk that are particularly sensitive to the
project’s objectives
Fitness-for-Purpose Issues
Technical fitness-for-purpose issues for options as appropriate
Risk Treatment
Potential risk treatments for key risks
TRA Summary & Conclusion
Risk Profile
