Explanation

■ Original FMS Case value based on accelerated schedule with some scope items not included in initial version of the FMS Case.

■ Initial FMS Case based on leasing the trainers. Subsequent costings indicated that the Commonwealth owning the training devices provided better value for money.

■ In May 2009, Government approved an initial investment to wire 12 F/A-18F Super Hornet aircraft with wiring for potential future conversion to EA-18G Growler configuration.

■ Two FMS Case amendments have been made to capture both the residual scope items and the Growler wiring enhancement.
