| Description: | Chinook Capability Sustainment Programme Tranche 1 will provide a modern and cost effective transformational change to the UK Special User's vertical heavy lift capability with the procurement of 14 new-build Chinook aircraft. The aircraft will be able to operate and survive in a multitude of environments, conducting high-tempo missions with minimal logistics footprint and high-levels of interoperability with key allies, to beyond 2050. |
| DCA (RAG) | Amber |
| DCA text: | Compared to financial year 21/22-Q4, the DCA rating at 22/23-Q4 decreased from Green (IPA rating) to Amber (SRO rating). This is primarily due to the following factors. Inflationary pressures and supply chain delays will increase affordability risk and programme success relies heavily on the release of capability information from the US to the UK. The Programme is currently working through rescheduling activities with the US Department of Defence which will culminate in a revised schedule and financial profile. The lack of key skills and experience, though mitigated by the arrival of a new Programme Director, Programme Manager and five Programme Control contractors, remains a risk given the high degree of churn. |
