John,
If you are referring to the "Capstone" project currently underway here,
it is merely one component of the "free flight" concept, and
absolutely none of the hardware is provided by Garmin.
The story I saw in the trade journals was 100% UPSAT.
Do you have a different reference?
See:

I guess some clarification is in order. The Phase I hardware was
provided by UPSAT, long before Garmin bought them. Development on Phase
I has ended, and to say that Garmin built those boxes is akin to saying
Boeing built the DC-3. I just don't think that way.
Phase II, the current project, is powered by Chelton displays, and the
same UAT boxes supplied under Phase I. So, yes, I guess I was incorrect
to exclude Garmin from the mix.
Happy Flying!
