Description

Remedial Action

LW155/AFATDS - Scope change: Land 17 Ph1A has encountered additional demands to project requirements as a result of:

•  Changes to the Functional Performance Specification (FPS) and Operational Concept Document (OCD), and

•  New lower level requirements identified during the Systems Engineering acceptance process.

The project is currently in the processes of reviewing the FPS to adjust the baseline in consultation with AHQ and CDG. The end-state of this work effort will result in an established Verification Cross Reference Matrix (VCRM).

AFATDS - JP2085 Ph1B: The inability of JP2085 Ph1B to deliver AFATDS software, hardware, radios and vehicle integration to set the conditions for the Land 17 Ph1A AFATDS upgrade has brought additional schedule risk to the project.

A process is currently being undertaken to request from Government a transfer of the relevant scope and budget from JP2085 Ph1B to Land 17 Ph1A and determine the appropriate schedule adjustments.

CCF - Schedule: The US Government has been unable to offer the CCF for acquisition via FMS due to ongoing testing and certification of the fuze accuracy and reliability. The US Government advised in February 2011 that a production milestone decision for the CCF will not be made until December 2012.

The project is planning to have CCF work packages scheduled, resourced and ready to commit once the CCF is approved by the US Government for sale through FMS. An Options Plan is in place to move the CCF scope to alternate phases of Land 17 if the delay exceeds the scheduled life of Ph1A.
