Notes

1

The MOU construct does not provide the project with insight into the design review process or design data. A Monthly Status Report is provided to the Commonwealth detailing only summary high level progress status.

The Interim Anchoring Mission System Review (MSR) delay was attributed to the unfamiliarity of the contractor with Defence contract requirements in relation to documentation and process. Through a contracted requirement, the Contractor experienced difficulties in meeting the quality requirements of the contract resulting in a requirement for re-work to be performed by the contractor. MSR was essentially a combined Preliminary Design Review, System Requirement Review and Critical Design Review that was expected to span three days.
