5.1  Major Project Risks

Identified Risks (risk identified by standard project risk management processes)

Description

Remedial Action

Delayed implementation of Support Services Contract may impact on support for Mobile Upgrade program.

Risk retired. Support Services Contract signed 11 March 2011. Risk is now assessed as low due to progress on relevant Mobile Upgrade work through other contracting mechanisms.

There is a chance that the cryptographic equipment required for the Land Mobile upgrades (which is replacing near-obsolete cryptographic equipment) will not be available in time to meet the schedule for the Land platform upgrades.

Risk is now assessed as low. Approach has been identified to accommodate both current and replacement cryptographic equipment, obviating any need for rework.

Emergent Risks (risk not previously identified but has emerged during 2010-11)

Description

Remedial Action

There is a chance that detailed design and manufacture of the modules for fitment to the LAND 121 vehicles will need to be undertaken by JP2043 before integration of Land capability into the modules can be achieved.

Risk is assessed as severe. Modules for fitment to the LAND 121 vehicles have not yet been approved by Government; this requirement is being addressed as part of the change of scope being progressed to Government by Capability Development Group.

Monitor the modules scope under LAND 121 to ensure JP2043 requirements remain extant.

There is a chance that the Mobile Upgrades completion date will not be achieved due to both the complexity of integrating into the existing integrated communication systems within each platform, as well as gaining access to the platforms to perform the work.

Undertake integration studies for each platform type to understand the integration issues at the earliest date possible. The schedule has been planned around major maintenance cycles for each platform. The project office will work closely with the Capability Manager to minimize schedule impacts.

There is a chance that the currently requested basis of provisioning for Land training will exceed the authorised basis of provisioning.

This requirement is being addressed as part of the change of scope being progressed to Government by Capability Development Group.
