6.1 Project Maturity Score and Benchmark
| Maturity Score | Attributes | Total | ||||||||
| Schedule | Cost | Requirement | Technical Understand | Technical Difficulty | Commercial | Operations and Support | ||||
| Project Stage | Benchmark | 8 | 8 | 8 | 8 | 9 | 8 | 8 | 57 | |
| Acceptance Testing | Project Status | 8 | 8 | 9 | 7 | 9 | 8 | 8 | 57 | |
| Explanation | • Requirement: Phase 2A is well understood in this area; the upgrade of the Combat Management System to Mk3E and the introduction of the Infra-Red Search and Track System are low risk to the Project and well understood to the customer. • Technical Understanding: With the Infra-Red Search and Track System being new to the RAN (although fielded elsewhere in foreign Navies), there is some risk that the use of this technology will not be fully understood until a period of operation has occurred. Although sea acceptance trials are now successfully complete, Navy operational test and evaluation will not complete until 2013. | |||||||||
