Explanation

  Schedule: Achievement of MRH90 ISD and the first  13 MRH aircraft and support systems have been accepted into service. 

•  Cost: Elements of contingency have been realised to support the delivery of the capability

  Requirement: The MRH System design and acceptance testing phases being essentially complete. Additionally, the project office, with Navy and Army, is conducting validation trials to demonstrate that the system meets in-service requirements. 

  Technical Understanding: The project office have been involved in intense discussions with industry to understand the technical issues

  Technical Difficulty: Capability is still being tested fully due to the immaturity of elements of the capability. 

  Commercial: A discrepancy remains between Australian Aerospace's willingness to support the commercial arrangements that will underpin re-acceptance of aircraft. 

  Operations and Support: The MRH System has commenced progressive transition from the acquisition environment to the in-service support and operational organisations.
