The integrated multi-user system, which received funding from the NSERC, the Department of National Defence and a private company, AdOpt Technologies, is the fruit of seven years' labour. Under the scientific direction of Professor Savard, the project involved a team that included five master's and doctoral students (including Éric Rancourt, MScA, and Louis-Philippe Bigras, PhD); Lan Guex-Le, a researcher with the Groupe d'études et de recherche en analyse des décisions (Group for Research in Decision Analysis -- GÉRAD), and some 10 other analysts each year. 

The project remains a going concern, since the team is presently working to add new capabilities to the existing system, with the ultimate aim of installing the system at each air force base. The system, which is scheduled for instalment over the coming months, will lead to significantly greater efficiency in the entire National Defence aircraft fleet.
