| Description: | The design, development and manufacture of Astute class submarines. |
| DCA (RAG) | Amber/Red |
| DCA text: | The IPA Delivery Confidence Assessment (DCA) rating at Q2 1920 (30th September 2019) was Amber/Red, which has declined since last year's Q2 1819 Amber, due primarily to the following factors; - A delay to Boat 4 which was caused by emergent technical issues which required unplanned repair and rework before proceeding with the normal commissioning process. - Elements of work on Boat 5 were paused in order to deploy extra resource to resolving the issues on Boat 4, impacting on the delivery. Through additional recruitment and provision of training to upskill the current workforce, we will significantly improve the situation in the medium term. Since the Q2 1920 (30th September 2019) Amber/Red IPA DCA, the following primary project actions have impacted the original Q2 IPA DCA; - The MOD has worked with its Tier 1 industrial partners to deliver Boat 4 to the Royal Navy and to recover the Boat 5 schedule, as well as improve production quality. Normal boat commissioning operations are now progressing. |
