Note 11:  

Other expenditure comprises: operating expenditure, contractors, consultants, contingency, other capital expenditure not attributable to the aforementioned top 5 contracts and minor contract expenditure. As the prime systems integrator, the Commonwealth is undertaking a strategy of incremental contracting of work packages as they are defined, this has included engaging in over 20 FMS cases with the US Government to support various stages of the project. Other expenditure includes an amount of $81.8m on aircraft software upgrade FMS cases and an additional $123.8m on other major FMS cases for items such as the Multifunctional Information Distribution System, Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System, Risk Reduction and Hornet Upgrade support activities. In addition $48.8m has been spent on fleet modifications by Boeing Defence Australia and BAE Systems Australia.

Note 12:  

Other expenditure comprises: operating expenditure, contractors, consultants, other capital expenditure not attributable to the aforementioned top 5 contracts and minor contract expenditure. In particular a total of $11.7m has been spent on aircraft software upgrade FMS cases, $8.3m on Counter Measures Dispenser Set and pylon modification kits from SAAB AB and $6.9m for fleet modification activities undertaken by Boeing Defence Australia.

Note 13:  

Base Date dollars have not been provided for some contracts in this project. As the Prime Systems Integrator the Commonwealth has, as a risk management strategy, undertaken a process of incremental contracting, by way of both new contracts and changes to existing contracts, for work packages as they are defined. This strategy results in varying base dates for work packages contracted by each contract change. This strategy applies to The Boeing Company and Raytheon contracts, as a result expressing real price increases/decreases at a total prime contract level in base date dollars is not feasible. The Elta Systems Ltd contract and FMS however have been calculated at base date dollars.
