Notes

1

Variance indicated is directly linked to the Government decision to investigate phased array radar technologies in lieu of the requirement for the VSRAD system and a realisation of technical risks in Phase 2B which required re-engineering effort to redesign the integration of the phased array radar into the ANZAC platform.

2

Additional variance of 1 month due to production completion delay of 1 month in lead ship HMAS Perth.
