Description

Remedial Action

Intellectual Property management between BAE and Navantia.

An Intellectual Property Deed was signed by Tenix, BAE Systems, Navantia, and the Commonwealth detailing how Intellectual Property will be managed for the LHD Project.

The management of Intellectual Property will be monitored through Intellectual Property audits.

Integration complexity.

Due to the complexity of the integration of the combat, communications and platform systems, more time has been allocated to the design activities.

Additional time has also been allocated for the design review activities with the establishment of technical forums to carefully review and assess design issues prior to the conduct of the formal review.
