Prime Contractor: Boeing Military Aircraft through US FMS case with the US Army
The project is acquiring seven CH-47F Chinook helicopters, two Transportable Flight Proficiency Simulators, maintenance training systems and associated spares. These aircraft will replace six CH-47D Chinook helicopters being withdrawn from Army service. The Chinook provides the Army with its medium-lift battlefield support helicopter capability. The new helicopters will be based at the 5th Aviation Regiment, RAAF Base Townsville, Queensland.
All seven CH-47Fs were delivered ahead of schedule with the final aircraft arriving at RAAF Base Townsville in August 2015; the Transportable Flight Proficiency Simulators were delivered in 2014-15. The CH-47F configuration is to be maintained in close alignment with the US Army baseline in order to improve interoperability and minimise the cost of ownership in sustainment; however, the Australian fleet will be modified slightly to meet certain Australian-unique requirements and to enable embarked operations from the new Canberra Class Landing Helicopter Dock ships. At the end of 2015, aircrew and maintainer transition training was completed and Australian Military Type Certification and Service Release of the CH-47F was granted. Initial Operational Capability was declared by Chief of Army in March 2016.
During 2016-17, the project will focus upon provision of support required for the declaration of Final Operational Capability in January 2017.

Tranche 1 of this project will deliver small, medium and large sized transportable satellite terminals for Australian Defence Force units and introduces into service an advanced waveform modem with associated spares.
The satellite terminals will expand the use of the Wideband Global Satellite Communications system by introducing certified terminals to Australian land forces.
Four large terminals were delivered to the Middle East Region in support of operations in late 2015. The remaining transportable terminal acceptance testing and delivery will be achieved in late 2016. The system level verification and the centralised monitoring and control system verification are scheduled for 2016-17.
The key risks for the project are the completion of the engineering reviews and the network design for the centralised monitoring and control.

Prime Contractor: US Air Force Foreign Military Sales (utilising Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman).
This project will provide the Air Force C-130J Hercules fleet with the Large Aircraft Infrared Counter Measures (LAIRCM) system to enhance the Electronic Warfare Self Protection of the aircraft. The LAIRCM capability design, hardware and the modification of the first four aircraft in the US are being provided via a Foreign Military Sales case. The remaining eight aircraft will be modified in Australia by Airbus Group Australia Pacific pending successful contract negotiations.
Modification of the first two aircraft is proceeding on schedule in the US. Completion of the US based LAIRCM modification effort on the first four aircraft will occur before the end of 2016 with the entire project related activities under the Foreign Military Sales case due for completion in the first half of 2017.
The key risk for this project is contractor performance maintaining the project plan, particularly with respect to the activities leading to the aircraft modification and the timely delivery of airworthiness artefacts to support the ongoing certification effort.

The project successfully completed System Requirements/System Definition Reviews in December 2015 and planning for Preliminary Design Review is well underway with the review occurring in May 2016.
During 2016-17 the project will continue to progress through the engineering design process, culminating in the Detailed Design Review in January 2017.
The key risks for this project are site-related, namely potential weather and subterranean issues which could result in delays to the installation program and subsequent achievement of the Initial Materiel Release and Final Materiel Release milestones.

This project introduces into service a number of new weapons including the USN common AIM-9X short-range air-to-air missile, the latest version of the AIM-120 medium-range air-to-air missile, the AGM-154 Joint Stand-off Weapon and countermeasures for the Australian Super Hornet Program. These weapons will significantly enhance the Air Force’s ability to conduct air, land and maritime strike operations.
Initial delivery of new AIM-120s is scheduled for September 2016. Operational test and evaluation of the new AIM-120s and AGM-154s is planned to start from May 2017 to realise the full capability. All other weapons and countermeasures in the approved project scope have been delivered and are operational.
The key risk for this project remains schedule. Both the USAF and USN are under budgetary pressure and have identified early indications of schedule slip in their domestic programs and production contracts that may flow on to impact the Australian products.

Prime Contractor: Not in contract.
This project will deliver around 225 Combat Reconnaissance Vehicles and support systems that will replace the current Australian Light Armoured Vehicle (ASLAV) capability.
During 2016-17 the project will conduct a review of the Australian Industry Involvement aspects of this project phase to ensure alignment with the 2016 Defence Industry Policy Statement.
The review will inform the Risk Mitigation Activities (RMA) that shortlisted tenderers will be invited to participate in. The RMA will validate technical compliance through a Test and Evaluation program; improve Australian Industry involvement, assess cost and capability trade-off options.
These activities will enable the development of options, differentiated by both cost and capability levels, for presentation to Government at Second Pass.
The key risk for the project during 2016-17 are delays to the completion of the Australian Industry Involvement review leading to slippage in commencement of the Risk Mitigation Activities.

The third and final batch of four craft arrived in Australia in November 2015. After successful installation and testing of the military communication and navigation systems, the final four craft were delivered to Navy on 7 Mar 2016.
The Project achieved Integrated Logistics Support Certification (Final) on 29 Feb 2016 and are currently transitioning the support products to the sustainment organisation.
Final Materiel Release and Full Operational Capability has moved from February 2016 (as scheduled) to June 2016 due to the delay of the Landing Helicopter Dock (LHD)/LHD Landing Craft interface trials from 4th Quarter 2015 to 2nd Quarter 2016.
Project and Materiel Acquisition Agreement closure is scheduled and on track for December 2016.
