1 | Included on-going involvement in the Tactical Command and Control hardware and software development process for the duration of the MOU. The FMS Case valued at $143.9M was written back to $79.2M with the introduction of the Armaments Cooperative Project (ACP). | |||||||||||
2 | Includes on-going involvement in the Tactical Command and Control hardware and software development process for the duration of the MOU. The ACP value was increased from $92.7M and subsequently to approximately $121M to support system changes and replacement of the Multi-Tube Weapon Simulator. The ACP incorporates elements from SEA 1429 Phase2-Heavyweight Torpedo and Combat System Sustainment. The SEA 1439 Phase 4A component of the original $92.7m was $51.75m and has a current value of $68.7m. | |||||||||||
3 | Includes on-going involvement in the Tactical Control and Command hardware and software development process for the duration of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). This contract also provided for the integration of Electronic Chart Display Information System (ECDIS) master navigation into the combat system at a cost of $2.8M which was not funded by SEA1439 Phase 4A. | |||||||||||
4 | Base date dollars have not been provided for this project. As the prime systems integrator the Commonwealth has, as a risk management strategy, undertaken a process of incremental contracting, by way of both new contracts and changes to existing contracts, for work packages as they are defined. This strategy results in varying base dates for work packages contracted by each contract change. In particular, the materials component of any contract change is struck in current prices and not linked to the contract base date. As a result expressing real price increases/decreases at a total prime contract level in base date dollars is not feasible. | |||||||||||

Notes | ||||||||||||
1 | The RCS project was funded originally for quantity four Submarine Acoustic Transitory Event Processing System units. The in-service support organisation took advantage of an option in the RCS project acquisition contract with Sonartech to replace the ageing Submarine Acoustic Transitory Event Processing System units fitted to the existing submarine combat system. Although the contract value was increased, the additional sets were not funded from project funds. | |||||||||||
