Details

The TBuRD process, through the work of a varied and skilled technical community of experts, provides the NDA group with visibility of planned or inflight R&D activities. These R&D activities ensure the various missions across the group are technically underpinned by generating technical knowledge, and deliverable by providing technology and technical approaches that deliver the desired outcomes. The TBuRD process also provides a method for the group to share knowledge, expertise and plan the right activities at the right time while avoiding duplication.
