| Description: | The Armoured Cavalry programme is central to the Army's Integrated Review and Future Soldier. It will deliver a multi-role Ground Mounted Reconnaissance capability, centred on the Ajax family of vehicles and their training and support systems, into service with the British Army. The six Ajax variants deliver a step change in capabilities compared to current in-service vehicles in the areas of Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance sensors, multi-domain integration, lethality, protection and mobility. Ajax will equip units in both Armour and Deep Reconnaissance and Strike Brigade Combat Teams in 3rd (United Kingdom) Division. 589 vehicles will be delivered through a firm priced contract with General Dynamics Land Systems (United Kingdom). |
| DCA (RAG) | Red |
| DCA text: | Compared to financial year 20/21-Q4, the IPA's DCA rating remained at Red. This is primarily due to the following factors: The Armoured Cavalry Programme is operating out of time, but within financial approval. There are technical issues with the Ajax platforms, for which design modifications have been identified. These are currently being trialled to assess their efficacy and Field Army use of the delivered vehicles is on hold until MOD is assured of their success. The impact of noise and vibration upon the overall programme schedule to Full Operating Capability has been significant. Significant effort is underway between the Army, DE&S and GDLS-UK to produce a jointly agreed, risk adjusted reset schedule, which is required to assure the programme and to provide confidence in deliverability, compliance and value for money. |
| Start date | 2014-01-22 |
| End date | 2025-04-30 |
| Schedule text | Compared to 2021-Q4, the project end-date remained scheduled to finish on 30 April 2025 however, there is risk to this date. This is primarily due to the following factors: The time required to quantify, understand and address the issues of noise and vibration has had a significant impact upon all areas of the programme, but most particularly upon the already delayed Ajax production schedule. A jointly agreed, risk adjusted reset schedule is necessary to identify the impact to Full Operating Capability. |
