Description | Remedial Action | |
Phase 2.3 | The development and service release of Australian Unique Software Load 7 (Austblock 7) has caused a delay to the achievement of the IOC milestone. | This issue has been retired as Austblock 7 achieved Service Release in April 2011. |
The contracted production rate of aircraft modifications will not meet the FOC milestone. | Formal requests to the Contractor have been made to try to recover the schedule however the Contractor is unable to provide a proposal due to an inability to obtain personnel resources to improve performance. The delay to production is accepted and no further mitigation is planned. | |
The HACTS will not be upgraded to support the Phase 2.3 configuration to meet the FOC milestone. | This issue has been downgraded and is no longer considered a Major Project Issue. A HACTS upgrade solution based on incorporating aircraft software load Austblock 8 is being pursued as an initial stage that supports the Phase 2.3 FMR milestone. | |
Final delivery of Weapon Station 6 adaptors for the Electronics Counter Measures Jammer Pod will not meet the FOC milestone. | Schedule recovery is not possible for the current FMR milestone date. | |
There is a potential issue with the design of the Pylon Modification Kit (modification to fit Supplementary Countermeasures Dispensing System) where the Original Equipment Manufacturer SAAB has identified additional design certification requirements. | This issue has now been downgraded and not considered a Major Project Issue. Mitigation action is to accept the design and implement a safety by inspection regime to ensure continued airworthiness of the design. | |
The HACTS is unable to host the latest version of the Australian unique aircraft software load. | This issue has been resolved in the interim by loading a later aircraft software version. There is a risk that this may recur for future aircraft software versions. This issue has been downgraded and is no longer considered a Major Project Issue. | |
