5.2 Major Project Issues

Description

Remedial Action

There is a backlog of engineering changes such as the design and integration of blackout curtains, due to the Commonwealth and Thales reprioritising engineering effort to higher priority operationally focused tasks. This backlog needs to be addressed in order to baseline the PMVs configuration.

The application of a more active management approach and the commitment of additional resources by the Commonwealth and Thales in an effort to reduce the backlog.

The achievement of Detailed Design for the ECA solution has taken longer than anticipated due to the requirement for Thales to readdress mass and temperature aspects of their proposed solution.

Engage stakeholders on a regular basis and ensure on-going clarity regarding system requirements.

Issuing of PMVs to the Army has been impacted by the availability of a communications harnesses.

The SOTASip communications harness and headsets are currently being introduced into service.  

The construction of project direct funded facilities has been affected by construction delays leading to an impact on cost and schedule.

This issue has been retired by the project.

The development of an ECA capability solution will be delayed due to the contractor's Preliminary Design failing to meet the Commonwealth's specification, leading to an impact on schedule and cost.

This issue has been retired by the project.
