5.1 Major Project Risks

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

Description

Remedial Action

There is a chance that any delays in phased array radar component of Phase 2B will impact installation of Phase 2A products. This risk will remain until completion of all subsequent ships.

The equipment being delivered under Phase 2A independently undergoes partial system test and system integration before being warehoused awaiting ship installation. As a result, equipment delivered under Phase 2A will be ready for installation pending outcomes from Phase 2B.

Recognising that the Infra-Red Search and Track System being installed under Phase 2A is a new capability being fielded by the RAN for the first time, there is a chance it will not operate to the expectations.

Project has had an operational system at the ANZAC Systems Support Centre in Western Australia since the end of 2007 and has been ensuring that the RAN have been actively involved in its testing and operation. Successful completion of acceptance testing for HMAS Perth has seen all systems achieving initial materiel certification in June 2011.
