Description

Remedial Action

For Operational Release, the Electronic Support System (C-Pearl) performance may not be met.

The Electronic Support System has been endorsed by Chief of Navy as ready for IOR. It will be further assessed during the formal Naval Operational Test and Evaluation period in June 2011.

For Operational Release, the Torpedo Defence Systems integration and performance may not be met and is primarily associated with system grooming and population of supporting libraries.

IOR for the upgrade capability was approved by CN in January 2010 with the exception of the Torpedo Defence System and, by association, the Le Scut torpedo decoy as the effectiveness of the decoy is dependent upon information provided by the torpedo detection and classification system.

The acquisition and installation requirement for an underwater active decoy system was initiated to satisfy operational preparedness requirements but with due regard to the remaining service life of the ships of the class.

For Operational Release, the Hull Mounted Sonar (Spherion) performance may not be met.

Now is no longer a major issue.
