Airbus Defence and Space Support/Airframe Support (Airframe Medium Term Contract, Airframe Design Services Contract), ii. Engine Support (Engine medium Term Contract, maintenance Level 3 Contracts, Engine Design Services Contract), iii. other Support (inc. DAS Support, Mission Planning Support and DE&S support and commodities), iv. Infrastructure Support; c. Training Costs; d. other minor projects. Budget forecasts are considered to be mature and accurate; however, the strategy for the utilisation of Liquidated Damages (LDs) is still being considered, and the long term support costs arising from any capability insertions funded by LDs will need to be fully explored. |
