| Description: | The Maritime Electronic Warfare Programmeconsists of two Category A projects (valued between £400m-£600m): Maritime Electronic Warfare System Integrated Capability Project; and Electronic Warfare Countermeasures Project. The Maritime Electronic Warfare Programme will provide a maritime electronic warfare capability enabled by openness, with the potential to keep pace with developments in anti-ship missile technology, contribute to the development of shared situational awareness and provide Force Protection through automated coordination of response to missile attack. Force Protection/Self Defence will be provided at an individual unit level or as part of a wider Task Group of ships. The programme will deliver improved operational effectiveness and reduced through life cost of surface ship electronic warfare capabilities. |
| DCA (RAG) | Amber |
| DCA text: | The Infrastructure Project Authority's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating is Amber.This is primarily due to the following factors: This is primarily due to the operational urgency of the requirement, the pace at which the programme is being delivered set against the complexity. Delivery of the Maritime Electronic Warfare Programme remains achievable and both component projects continue to work to the deterministic schedule, which are reviewed at quarterly Programme Boards. Asboth projects have been in the Concept or Assessment Phase all delivery dates remain provisional until the main financial investment decision (Full Business Case) are approved and contract awarded. Delivery confidence for the Maritime Electronic Warfare System Integrated Capability Increment 1 component of the programme continues to improve, especially as Contract Award for Demonstration and Manufacture approaches. The Electronic Warfare Counter Measures component is at an earlier stage of maturity compared to Maritime Electronic Warfare System Integrated Capability, as planned and remains broadly on schedule. |
| Start date | 2015-12-31 |
| End date | 2044-07-31 |
| Schedule text | The project end-date is 31 July 2044. This is primarily due to the following factors: The Maritime Electronic Warfare Programme schedule is broadly on track. The Maritime Electronic Warfare System Integrated Capability project Increment 1 Full Business Case is being considered by the Ministry of Defence Investment Appraisal Committee and expected to be on contract Q3 2021. Increment 2 is in the Concept Phase and Increment 3 is not yet initiated as planned. For the Electronic Warfare Countermeasures Project Increment 1a (Trainable Launcher) the commercial competition will commence in September 2021, with Full Business Case in August 22and Increment 1b subject to the outcome of a feasibility study. Increment 2 remains the subject of future capability choices. |
| Baseline | £15.10m |
| Forecast | £0.92m |
| Variance | -94.00% |
| Variance text: | The budget variance exceeds 5%. The initial variance in Financial Year 20/21 was caused by the need to rewind a commercial competition, resulting in the programme funding becoming misaligned with equipment delivery schedule. This variance was addressed through reprofiling the funding into later years to match the suppliers delivery schedule. |
