Notes | |||||||
1 | The above data represents rolled-up information within the listed sub-projects each of which has many independent design review activities associated with over 100 Configuration Change Proposals (CCP). As the critical path for these sub projects was broadly defined by the submarine docking program, individual activities within each of the above sub projects were allowed to move provided the delivery of the capability was not impacted adversely by delaying the completion of the specific docking. Although some individual activities were ahead or behind schedule the project has maintained the critical path as defined by the submarine docking program. | ||||||
2 | In some instances, the original planned schedule for sub projects was incorporated into the submarine maintenance schedule which was maintained by ASC. ASC update the maintenance schedule annually and do not retain original schedule information. Consequently, apart from post June 2005 activities (supported by a Materiel Acquisition Agreement), it is not possible to provide the original planned dates for some platform upgrade projects, which were scheduled to occur during an unstable FCD Program. Fast Track was initially installed on two submarines and managed under SEA 1446 Phase 1. SEA 1439 Phase 3 is responsible for rolling out those changes to the remaining four submarines. As such, all design and associated design review and approval was achieved under SEA 1446 Phase 1 Collins Class Interim Minimum Operating Capability (IMOC). | ||||||
3 | HMA Submarine COLLINS received modifications for Multi Swimmer Release and Float on/Float off which comprise two of the three Special Forces capabilities. The third (Exit & Re-entry) required redesign to increase diver safety following sea trials conducted in HMA Submarine COLLINS in 2008. The first opportunity to install these safety enhancements will be in HMA Submarine DECHAINEUX to be completed by September 2012 which will enable IOR to be achieved. Installation in HMA Submarine COLLINS will follow when its FCD commences in July 2012. | ||||||
4 | Full class implementation will not be achieved until HMA Submarine COLLINS has completed its FCD in 2015 in accordance with the Integrated Master Schedule (IMS). | ||||||
