WALLER and FARNCOMB have achieved Operational Release and are awaiting confirmation by the Capability Manager that other FIC are complete. FOC date was set at project approval before the submarine FCD programme had reached maturity in terms of the length of dockings and impact of emergent work and other capability upgrades.

As a result, the RCS installation schedule has been delayed. The project has been able to recover some schedule following the promulgation of the Integrated Master Schedule. However, there is no opportunity to recover the original schedule. The final installation will be completed in COLLINS in May 2015, with FOC currently expected to occur in the 4^th quarter of 2015.
