Explanation

There have been a number of Contract Change Proposals over the life of the contract which have increased or removed scope, resulting in a small increase to the contract price in base date dollars. These proposals have included adjustments related to the Fixed Network and a reduction in the number of Mobiles platforms to be upgraded, as well as the addition of the two Generic High Frequency Upgrade Systems which provide for the underlying design and development of hardware and software forming the basis of all upgrade systems.

The Contract value has reduced by $1.1m. This is due primarily to the removal of the Chinook CH47-D installation activities from the Prime Contract as a result of platform unavailability.
