This project made it less cumbersome to break-in hardware CCA redesign due to obsolete components on an existing piece of avionics equipment.
Researchers asked a critical mass of participating avionics companies to define present process roadblocks, and further define what the process should be. They obtained concurrence from the FAA and took a pilot project through the process.
The result was a clear, well defined, simpler process for breaking in a redesign of a CCA on an existing piece of avionics equipment.
