FMS

Not all Spares and Support and Test equipment was delivered as planned resulting in an underspend of $20.1m. There was a reduction in the need for United States Air Force (USAF) support resulting in an underspend of $4m against the FMS case. The RAAF reduced it's requirement for tanker hire and ALS support resulting in a saving of $9.5m and there was a reduction in the costs claimed against Liquidated Damages due to continued delays with the program.
