Description

Remedial Action

Finalisation of the BMS design for installation into the PMV is critical to the start of full rate installation of the PMV.

The Land 75 Phase 3.4 and JP 2072 Phase 1 projects are planning to fit the PMV at the IMR baseline agreed at DDR in late 2010 (pending the outcomes of the Delta DDR) in order to maintain the schedule target of supplying all BMS equipped PMVs to Army by early 2012. The Delta DDR will be completed in FY 2011-12, and will involve very close consultation and agreement with Thales Australia, who are the Design Authority for the Bushmaster.

The need for Retrofits at a later date but before FOC has increased.

Additional Costs allocated to budget to accommodate for retrofits at a later date.

MILIS Requirements may mean that vehicles can't be issued back to ESL for retrofits.

Survey & Quote for the setup of Land 200 MILIS program to enhance tracking of vehicle availability.

Although unlikely, the BGC3 radios may cause injury resulting from an explosion due to Hazards of Electromagnetic Radiation to Ordnance (HERO).

It has been recommended that the BGC3 transmitters are not to be used if UNSAFE EO is within 39m of BMS-D nodes and within 88m of BMS-CP-MP mast antennas. A warning is to be included in Training and Publications.

This Issue has been transferred to the Capability Manager for mitigation.
