Attempts have been made to obtain input from a broad set of organizations for an inclusive opinion. Future projections, by definition, are based on the judgment of specialists, and can be subjective. The timeline considered was ten years to attain a Technology Readiness Level of 6+, with systems demonstrated in a relevant environment. To help systems engineers assess the viability of such future solutions, we present a technology roadmap for superconducting machines.

One likely path for disruptive superconducting technology in commercial products could be in applications where its advantages become key enablers for systems which are not practical with conventional technology. However, in spite of many successful technology demonstrations, commercial adoption has been slow, presumably because the threshold for value versus cost and technology risk has not yet been crossed.
