CBP sources state that while there is no official deployment date for M1, it is expected to be deployed sometime in 2010. CBP sources previously stated that they expected to publish a Federal Register notice in summer 2010 seeking volunteers for the M1 pilot. M1 has been delayed multiple times due to software defects. The cost overruns and schedule delays associated with the M1 project have further impacted the cost and schedule performance of the overall ACE program.
