If you look at this article

MITRE are doing technology development and demonstration. Presumably
once demonstrated an avionics manufacturer could take it up.
What is obvious is that mandating any particular system at the
current level of technology development is likely to result in widely
deployed systems which are unnecessarily cumbersome, expensive or
have performance shortcomings.
