How long does the CAP take?

TSA requires that all three CAP phases are completed before operating any donated TSE in a screening environment, to include execution of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), Terms and Conditions document, and offer and acceptance letters.  The time it takes to implement CAP depends on the complexity of the Capability Request, but generally, it can take approximately four to six months to complete all three phases.  We suggest that Donors begin the process as early as possible.
