The PRR was conducted in cooperation with the test resource management centre (TRMC) and CRIIS System Program Office (SPO) at Eglin Air Force Base (AFB).

The review demonstrated that the system met US Department of Defense (US DoD) requirements to provide time, space, position information (TSPI) and additional platform test data.

"The CRIIS is being offered as a replacement for the advanced range data system (ARDS) currently being used at major US military test ranges."

It also included a review of Rockwell Collins’s manufacturing readiness status, quality management system and production planning capabilities to ensure schedule, performance and cost requirements will be achieved in the upcoming production phase.

The CRIIS will support a variety of platforms, including advanced fifth-generation aircraft, and offers common test and training infrastructure for improved operational realism.
