Variance Explanations

  No Aircraft Systems Requirement Review or Preliminary Design Review for the project as the aircraft is a MOTS design.

  The Aircraft Critical Design Review was delayed due to the Instrument landing System integration requiring re-design.

  The Electronic Warfare data library preliminary design review was delayed due to the US Navy adopting a new design process, and the issue of classified data being unable to be released

  The Critical Design Review for the Automated Maintenance Environment slipped by one week.

  The Integrated Visual Environment Maintenance Trainers follow a spiral development path with several combined Preliminary/Critical Design Reviews beginning in January 2009 and continuing through until October 2009.

Note 1: Preliminary and Critical Design Reviews were combined to meet delivery targets.
