Variance Explanations

Delays in the Systems Engineering process have resulted from the developmental nature of the aircraft system, with the MRH90 variant being unique in some ways.

Note 2: All elements of the Phase 4/6 requirements with the exception of the Pintle Machine Gun Mount (PMGM) were completed on these dates. The PMGM requirements are in the process of being removed from the general Phase 4/6 systems engineering process and a dedicated PMGM systems engineering process is being separately developed with the contractor.
