Abstract

With a high degree of reliability we could say that modern products and systems in the field of critical infrastructure security are mechatronic, as they are complete mechanical systems with fully integrated electronics, intelligent control system and information technology. At the same time, the concept of Technology Readiness Levels has become an important project management tool that facilitates communication and common understanding between technology manufacturers and developers, customers and managers.
Defining and implementing the compatibility approach between the stages of development of mechatronic security systems of CI and TRLs is one of the possible correct ways to maintain an adequate security levels for national CI, providing prevention and counteraction against contemporary risks.
