SECTION 11 RISK ASSESSMENT 11. 1 TECHNOLOGY RISK RATING AND RANKING The technology status and risk for the MPTS was assessed to guide future development activities. The approach is described in Figure 11-1. A work breakdown structure (WBS) was developed for the complete SPS to place the MPTS portions in the proper perspective. This is shown in Figure 11-2 with the appropriate risk ratings entered. Figure 11-1. Technology and Hardware Development Risk Rating Definition A risk rating, 1 through 4, was established for each of the items, as currently conceived, in the late 70’s to early 80’s, and mid 80’s assuming the recommended technology development programs would be implemented. These ratings are displayed in Figure 11-2 under the appropriate items at the level where the assessment was made and the most critical set was carried forward to the higher levels of assembly. For the items inside the purview of Microwave Power Transmission (MPTS) the assessment was made through discussions with the
