Desenvolvimento e avaliação da maturidade tecnológica de um Sistema de Aquisição de Dados Oceanográficos

Abstract

This work presents the development and technological evaluation of an Ocean Data Acquisition System (ODAS) designed for recording, processing, and monitor- ing various marine environment variables. The primary objectives of this study were to develop an affordable system capable of collecting data from environmental sen- sors, and to adapt the TRL (Technology Readiness Level) scale into a classification method specific to the ODAS hardware (TRL) and firmware (STRL - Software Tech- nology Readiness Level). The study included the adaptation of criteria for assessing technological maturity, specific to each of these components, resulting in a more structured and objective development and classification process. The ODAS was tested in a laboratory environment, and the results demonstrated that the proposed method significantly contributed to the planning and evaluation of the system’s technological maturity.
