3.1 The Project Executive Summaries and Status Outlines in Chapter 2 provide a snapshot of each project and make observations about their performance. This chapter provides a longitudinal analysis that compares and contrasts performance across the 15 projects and includes an analysis of key aspects of this performance. As the number of projects included in the DMO MPR increases over time, the longitudinal analysis is expected to indicate trends and enable more systemic observations on DMO project performance.
3.2 For the purpose of the longitudinal analysis, projects have been referred to with the following abbreviated titles (in tables and diagrams) that follow:
| Project Number | Project Name | Abbreviation |
| SEA 4000 Ph 3 | AWD Ships | |
| AIR 5349 Ph 1 | Super Hornet | |
| AIR 9000 Ph 2, 4 & 6 | MRH90 | |
