Design and development of an instrument BOP ram prototype and laboratory testing. The technology development will be conducted in five stage gates within two phases:

A system feasibility determination, gaps analysis, and a risk assessment will be conducted, followed by technology selection (TRL0). Instrumentation was conceptualized and reviewed (TRL1), designed (TRL2), a prototype was constructed and bench scale tested (TRL3-4), followed by review with BSEE and API, and development of a commercialization plan.
