Description

Remedial Action

Uncertainty in the submarine docking cycle (a result of unscheduled maintenance arisings) and the delayed availability of submarines has impacted the schedule for installing engineering enhancements and new capability on the boats.

The Project Office is not in a position to treat this issue, but is monitoring priorities and opportunities to install engineering enhancements earlier, when practicable.

That Torpedo Decoy (SUBSCUT) Capability will not be accepted prior to life expiry of Acoustic Decoy Countermeasures (ADC).

This risk has been realised. ADC life has expired. SUBSCUT is yet to achieve interim operational capability status but is available for training purposes.
