Neda Haj Heidari MSc, Industrial Engineering, Najaf Abad Branch, Islamic Azad University, Najaf Abad, Isfahan Journal Article 2019 07 06 The process of determining and measuring technology maturity level and estimating the cost of technology development is very important for pioneering organizations in research and development. In this regard, we need to establish and develop domestic approaches according to conditions of the country.<span>This research seeks to establish and develop such an approach to achieve double –use technologies for a light class submarine. This technology is the result of domestic research and development in one of the military industries (between 2017 and 2018). </span>In this research, first, using two quality house matrices, main demands of the customer and functional- requirements are described and the level of technology is determined. Then, the current technology level gap is determined and analyzed and its readiness is assessed quantitatively using the technical specifications of technology. Finally, by determining technology readiness level, current technology costs are calculated on the base of activity based cost method. The results show that the technology has completed level 4 and it is at level 5, now. The presented approach is considered as a guide for the research and development department of organizations.
