In addition to the new projects listed above, reporting on AIR 5349 Phase 1 - Bridging Air Combat Capability (Super Hornet) has been expanded to incorporate AIR 5349 Phase 2 - Super Hornet Weapons. While the Super Hornet project approval submission to Government proposed the acquisition as two separate project phases, Government approved a whole capability with a single defined FOC milestone of December 2012. Hence, rather than include Super Hornet Weapons as a seventh additional project in this report, it is consolidated into a single report as the AIR 5349 Phase 1 & Phase 2 Super Hornet project.

This report is to be the final year for inclusion of the following project:

•  AIR 5376 Phase 3.2 - F/A-18 Hornet Upgrade Structural Refurbishment
