Explanation

Cost: With no major issues and the maturity of the delivery of the Mk3E Combat Management System and Infra-Red Search and Track System, costs are well understood.

Requirement: Phase 2A is well understood in this area; the upgrade of the Combat Management System to Mk3E and the introduction of the Infra-Red Search and Track System are low risk to the Project and well understood to the customer.

Technical Understanding: With the Infra-Red Search and Track System being new to the Royal Australian Navy (although fielded elsewhere in foreign Navies), there is some risk that the use of this technology will not be fully understood until a period of operation has occurred.

Operations and Support: As the systems being installed under Phase 2A are linked to Phase 2B, there are some elements of support that will not be fully determined until the next reporting period.
