Explanation

•  Schedule: The project will complete acceptance testing once the EL/L jammer has completed the factory acceptance testing in August 2011.

•  Costs: Major Acquisition contracts are almost finalised in line with iterative contracting strategy. In Service Support contracts are still in development. HACTS funding estimates for finalisation activities are undergoing refinement.

•  Technical Understanding: Support aspects are understood, however only partial capability in service. The US Navy is continuing to assist in the resolution of discrepancies discovered during Acceptance testing for HACTS.

•  Technical Difficulty: Several phases of the project undertook Prime Systems Integration functions that has increased the technical difficulty and risks associated with the project. The status of technical difficulty will increase once all sub-systems are in the delivery phase.

•  Operations and Support: The project is conducting a staged process of transitioning all sub-systems.
