Description

Remedial Action

There is a possibility that installation of the Replacement Combat System equipment will be affected by slippages in submarine availability leading to an impact on schedule.

This risk has now been realised and is addressed as an Issue in Section 4.2 Major Project Issues.

There is a possibility that the Tactical Command Control system baseline will be affected by unforeseen US Navy led baseline changes leading to an impact on cost and schedule.

This risk is being treated by:

■  Exercising clauses within the Memorandum of Understanding that require the US Navy to consult with the Commonwealth of Australia.

■  Presenting technical architecture changes to the Executive Steering Committee for decision.

■  Establishing Project Authority positions in the Joint Project Office (US) to enable the RAN to influence prospective changes to the US program.

■  Monitoring and approving all system engineering changes through the Engineering Review Board.
