Notes

1

All missiles acquisitions within the Scope of Phase 2 are MOTS - design reviews were completed by the US Government prior to Commonwealth acquisition.

2

No Aircraft Systems Requirement Review or Preliminary Design Review for the project as the aircraft is a MOTS design.

3

The Electronic Warfare data library preliminary design review was delayed due to the US Navy
adopting a new design process, and the issue of classified data being unable to be released.

4

Preliminary and Critical Design Reviews were combined to meet delivery targets.

5

The Integrated Visual Environment Maintenance Trainers follow a spiral development path with several combined Preliminary/Critical Design Reviews beginning in January 2009 and continuing through until October 2009.

6

The Aircraft Critical Design Review was delayed due to the Instrument landing System integration requiring re-design.

7

The Critical Design Review for the Automated Maintenance Environment slipped by one week.
