Notes

Note 1: $155.355 transferred from SEA448 PH 2A after Government agreed that initial Very Short Range Air Defence (VSRAD) was to be replaced with the phased array radar system from CEA.

Note 2: Transfer to DSTO (Maritime Operations Division) for phased array radar risk mitigation activities in line with original Government approval in September 2005.

Note 3: (P3 = Preliminary Phased Array Radar Program); This contract was officially closed in April 2010 and was aimed at development and initial production of the first phased array radar system.

Note 4: This is the current production contract for the delivery of the first phased array radar system into HMAS Perth (lead ship). This contract is a single ship contract in accordance with the revised acquisition strategy, but has options that can be activated by the Commonwealth for an additional seven ship sets builds if Government approves this post successful at sea testing of the lead ship. In order to manage acquisition obsolescence of phased array radar components and retention of the strategic workforce related to the phased array radar, this contract also includes forward component buys.

Note 5: Other expenditure comprises: operating expenditure, short term contractors, consultants and other capital expenditure not attributable to the aforementioned top five contracts and minor contract expenditure.
