| MOD_0001_1112-Q1 | A400M | MOD | Military Capability | To deliver into RAF Service a worldwide, protected Tactical Air Transport capability that is able to rapidly project, sustain and recover Air and Joint Forces, in order to meet UK standing commitments and support enduring and contingent operations in the most demanding timescales. A400M refers to the overarching programme, the aircraft operated by the RAF is named the ‘Atlas’. | Not Applicable | Amber | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the Senior Responsible Owner's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating at 23/24-Q4 remained at Amber. This is primarily due to the following factors. The continued workforce capacity challenges faced by the Programme. The highest priority Tactical capabilities, as defined by Defence Security Policy and Operations, are being graduated to the Front Line squadrons as quickly as practical and the graduation of further important capabilities will continue. | 2000-05-17 00:00:00 | 2025-03-31 00:00:00 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's end-date at 23/24-Q4 has increased from 2024-03-31 to 2025-03-31. This is primarily due to the following factors. Programme end-date now reflects the forecast date for delivery of the Full Operating Capability (FOC) milestone. Once FOC is achieved, the Programme will transfer to Business as Usual and facilitate graduation from the GMPP. | 228.69 | 260.52 | 13.91840483 | The budget variance exceeds 5%. This is primarily due to the following factors. Although the Programme overall shows an underspend against its approved costs, the overspend in-year is the result of an increase in support, training, and production resource costs, offset in part by a capital underspend. | 3764 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree Whole Life Cost at 23/24-Q4 decreased from 3817m. to 3764m. This is primarily due to the following factors. Reflects a change in the Programme’s Approved Budgetary Level. | 0 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree monetised benefits at 23/24-Q4 remained at 0m. |
| MOD_0007_2122-Q2 | Submersible Ship Nuclear AUKUS | MOD | Military Capability | SSN-AUKUS is a new class of nuclear-powered, conventionally armed attack submarine being developed in partnership with the US and Australia for the Royal Navy and Royal Australian Navy. The design and manufacturing process will be a complex, multi-decade undertaking, creating thousands of jobs across the UK. SSN-AUKUS will enable deeper information and technology sharing and closer integration of security and defence-related science and technology, including propulsion plant systems, common vertical launch systems and conventional weapons from the US. They will be operational from the late 2030s, replacing the current SSN Astute Class. | Not Applicable | Amber | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the Senior Responsible Owner's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating at 23/24-Q4 remained at Amber. This is primarily due to the following factors. A degree of risk relating to the ability of the Defence Nuclear Enterprise and the wider UK supply chain to resource the programme with the necessary skills, experience and infrastructure to deliver against a demanding schedule, without adversely impacting the delivery of the Dreadnought (SSBN) programme. | 2014-04-01 00:00:00 | Exempt under Section 24 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (National security) | The SSN-AUKUS programme is in its early stages and is working to a schedule developed in conjunction with Industrial Partners. | 463.64 | 494.67 | 6.692692606 | The budget variance exceeds 5%. This is primarily due to the following factors. A result of unanticipated costs due to the insertion of US Technology. This opportunity arose as a result of the AUKUS agreement at the start of the financial year. | Exempt under Section 27 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (International Relations) | Exempt under Section 27 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (International Relations) | 0 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree monetised benefits at 23/24-Q4 remained at 0m. |
| MOD_0009_2122-Q2 | CHINOOK CAPABILITY SUSTAINMENT PROGRAMME (CSP) | MOD | Military Capability | 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 Extended Range Chinook aircraft (H-47(ER)). 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. | Amber | Not Applicable | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the Infrastructure Project Authority's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating at 23/24-Q4 remained at Amber. This is primarily due to the following factors, recorded in the Infrastructure and Projects Authority Gateway 0/3 Review. Aircraft certification risk (information sharing between the US and the UK) and workforce capability shortfalls. Despite the increased costs to the programme following the 3-year deferral, the programme remains affordable, subject to HM Treasury approval. | 2017-03-31 00:00:00 | 2030-12-31 00:00:00 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's end-date at 23/24-Q4 remained schedule to finish on 2030-12-31. This is primarily due to the following factors. A recent Scheduled Risk Analysis was conducted by the Delivery Team, which subsequently formed the basis of the Review Note submitted to the Investments Approvals Committee to re-baseline the programme following the 3-year deferral. Targeted efforts to reconcile programme schedules, assumptions and risks into a programme-wide integrated Master Schedule are due to be completed in April 2024. | 148.56 | 145.97 | -1.743403339 | The budget variance is less than or equal to 5% | 1861 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree Whole Life Cost at 23/24-Q4 increased from 1602m to 1861m. This is primarily due to the following factors. The UK decision in 2021 to defer H-47(ER) aircraft production by 3 years, compounded by adverse inflation and Forex cost increases, resulted in significant cost growth. However, negotiations with the US Government and other measures taken since June 2023 have reduced the growth to an affordable level without reducing the scope of the Programme or impacting capability. | 0 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree monetised benefits at 23/24-Q4 remained at 0m. |
| MOD_0011_2122-Q2 | Submarine Waterfront Infrastructure Future | MOD | Infrastructure and Construction | The Submarine Waterfront Infrastructure Future project is investing £2Bn+ in infrastructure at Devonport to support the maintenance of the Royal Navy’s Astute Class nuclear-powered submarines. The facilities being provided include a new non-tidal maintenance berth, a repurposed dry dock, and associated buildings and services. | Not Applicable | Amber | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the Senior Responsible Owner's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating at 23/24-Q4 remains at Amber. This is primarily due to the following factors. Designs have matured, demolition and site preparation have continued, and all contracts for the main construction works have been placed. Timely completion now depends on achieving the required pace in construction, which remains exposed to significant risks in the delivery environment. 2024 is a critical year for SWIF. | 2016-12-31 00:00:00 | 2027-10-31 00:00:00 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the programme's end-date at 23/24-Q4 remained scheduled to finish on 2027-10-31. | 330 | 330 | 0 | The budget variance is less than or equal to 5% | 1428 | The project's departmental-agree Whole Life Cost at 23/24-Q4 is 1428m. This is primarily due to the following factors. Final construction contracts awarded and a maturing view on costs informed by design development and engagement with the wider supply chain. | 0 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree monetised benefits at 23/24-Q4 remained at 0m. |
| MOD_0017_1112-Q1 | Crowsnest Programme | MOD | Military Capability | The CROWSNEST programme is a firm price contract to deliver an organic Airborne Surveillance and Control capability as role fit to the Merlin Mark 2 helicopter. By delivering concurrent Land, Sea and Air surveillance and control for Carrier Strike, Littoral Manoeuvre and Land, it will provide force protection, intelligence and support to strike assets. It is part of the Carrier Enabled Power Projection programme with Queen Elizabeth Class Carriers and the F-35B Lightning II. | Amber | Not Applicable | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the Infrastructure and Project Authority's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating at 23/24-Q4 remained at Amber. This is primarily due to the following factors. The programme has held to time for the last 2 years and overall confidence has improved by achieving Initial Operating Capability in 2023. However, the programme is still managing delivery risks that require constant attention, but doing this very closely with the Prime, Delivery Agent and End User. | 2013-03-31 00:00:00 | 2025-08-06 00:00:00 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the programme's end-date at 23/24-Q4 has increased from 2023-06-30 to 2025-08-06. This is primarily due to the following factors. The programme was reapproved in Q1 23/24 to incorporate widely reported earlier delays caused by supplier performance which have been addressed. This end date includes the achievement of Full Operating Capability in 2025 and the final delivery of the software configuration which allows the process of acceptance against contract requirements. The modification of the required number of aircraft has completed. | 8.21 | 4.48 | -45.43239951 | The budget variance exceeds 5%. This is primarily due the following factors. Deferral of the purchase of the final tranche of Initial Provisioning spares until the next financial year, as the data was not available from the suppliers to make the investment decision. The high percentage is the result of having only a relatively small amount of remaining uncommitted funding and in-year forecast spend, which is appropriate at this mature stage of the programme. | 504 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree Whole Life Cost at 23/24-Q4 increased from 503m to 504m. | 0 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree monetised benefits at 23/24-Q4 remained at 0m. |
| MOD_0033_1112-Q1 | MARSHALL | MOD | Military Capability | Marshall enables military terminal air traffic management services in the UK and abroad. This is achieved through a service provision contract, which also involves a significant update of obsolete equipment across the estate. Marshall combines some seventy previous equipment and support contracts into a single service delivery contract. It is delivered through fifteen technical services; supporting hub and satellite geographically clustered services. Marshall provides cost and workforce savings, significant equipment upgrades, and ensures compliance with the latest civil and military aviation regulatory requirements. Legacy technical services were transferred in April 2015. The new services are principally delivered, maturing and typically performing above target. | Not Applicable | Amber | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the Senior Responsible Owner's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating at 23/24-Q4 remained at Amber. This is primarily due to the following factors. The Programme Delivery Confidence Assessment remains Amber although with an improving trend. Work continues to address the known risks and issues which appear resolvable at this stage. Elsewhere, Hub and Satellite operations from the Terminal Air Traffic Control Centre (TATCC) (East) at Marham began in Apr 23 with the transfer of Wittering radar services. The first Hub and Satellite operations from TATCC (South) commenced in Jun 23 when Benson radar services relocated to Brize Norton. | 2006-04-03 00:00:00 | 2026-10-31 00:00:00 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's end-date at 23/24-Q4 increased from 2024-12-31 to 2026-10-31. This is primarily due to the following factors. Adjustments in the delivery of new equipment to some Programme outliers has necessitated a slip in the Programme’s Full Operating Capability (FOC) and Programme Closure milestones. These changes will not result in any cost increase nor operational impact. Potential mitigating options are being explored to bring forward equipment delivery against the revised FOC date. | 100.06 | 92.16 | -7.895262842 | The budget variance exceeds 5%. This is primarily due to the following factors. Contractor resourcing issues, meaning that some new equipment roll-out milestones have slipped beyond this FY but with no impact to the achievement of FOC by October 26 at this time. | 1774 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree Whole Life Cost at 23/24-Q4 increased from 1573m to 1774m. This uplift reflects the increase in programme scope to include safety critical and operationally essential change required by the Front Line Commands. The programme remains affordable. | 0 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree monetised benefits at 23/24-Q4 remained at 0m. |
| MOD_0047_1112-Q1 | Spearfish Upgrade Programme | MOD | Military Capability | To deliver in-service an upgraded submarine launched heavy-weight Torpedo that is safe, sustainable and capable of defeating modern Anti-Submarine Warfare and Anti-Surface Warfare threats in order to retain the UK’s dominance of the Underwater Battlespace. | Amber | Not Applicable | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the Infrastructure and Project Authority's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating at 23/24-Q4 remains at Amber. This is primarily due to the following factors. Delivery progress made to date balanced against the technical complexity of the programme and its dependencies on the submarine upkeep programme. On advice from the recent Infrastructure and Projects Authority Gateway Review, the Spearfish Upgrade Programme End-date milestone has been amended to reflect the Delivery Confidence Assessment of the entire programme rather than that of only one of the three projects which the Spearfish Upgrade Programme is dependent upon. | 2008-04-01 00:00:00 | 2025-03-31 00:00:00 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's end-date at 23/24-Q4 increased from 2024-03-31 to 2025-03-31. This is primarily due to the following factors. Following advice from a recent IPA Gateway Review, the Spearfish Upgrade Programme End-date milestone has been amended so that it now reflects the closure of the Spearfish Upgrade Programme through delivery by the constituent three projects, rather than being limited to just the Spearfish Upgrade Programme Weapon project. Adjustment of this milestone is purely administrative to ensure reporting is aligned with the previous and most recent Infrastructure and Projects Authority Gateway Review. | 86.84 | 68.46 | -21.16536158 | The budget variance exceeds 5%. This is primarily due to the following factors. In year variance to budget due to delays within subcontractors delivery. The Spearfish Upgrade project milestone payment has moved into next FY reflecting delays in delivery of the Spearfish Upgrade Programme Mod Kits. Since the previous Transparency report, the Programme has been directed to include the financial details for Weapon Thread and Whitehead to encompass the full programme, which is also reflected in the variance. | 1402 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree Whole Life Cost at 23/24-Q4 increased from 405m to 1402m. This is primarily due to the following factors. The inclusion of Weapon Thread project and Torpedo In-Service Support costs in this quarter's report as directed by the Infrastructure and Projects Authority Gateway Review. These additional projects have their own centrally approved business cases and Approved Budgetary Levels and are managed accordingly. The Torpedo In-Service Support costs reported are indicative owing to the commercial arrangements involved and include disposal costs for Spearfish Mod 0 until 2028. Through Life costs for Spearfish Mod 1 past 2028 are a planning assumption for a commercial programme currently in the `Identify` stage. | 0 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree monetised benefits at 23/24-Q4 remained at 0m. |
| MOD_0055_1112-Q1 | Type 26 Global Combat Ship Programme | MOD | Military Capability | Type 26 Global Combat Ship Programme will procure eight Anti Submarine Warfare (ASW) ships and associated support. The ships will deliver an interoperable, survivable, available and adaptable capability, that is operable globally within the maritime battle space, to contribute to sea control for the Joint Force and contribute to maritime force projection and Joint Force command and control, with the flexibility to operate across and within the range and scale of Contingent and non-Contingent operations. This eight ship programme will deliver Anti-Submarine Warfare capability to protect strategic assets, sustain national shipbuilding capability and increase the resilience of the Naval Service. | Amber | Not Applicable | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the Infrastructure Project Authority's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating at 23/24-Q4 remained at Amber. This is primarily due to the following factors. Delay caused by a combination of outstanding engineering design volume; supply chain performance and COVID19 related slowdown resulted in a schedule re-baseline to programme Initial Operating Capability. Importantly, quality has not been compromised and T26 Frigates will be world class ships delivered in time to replace their T23 counterparts. | 2008-07-21 00:00:00 | 2035-05-01 00:00:00 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's end-date at 23/24-Q4 remained on schedule to finish on 2035-05-01. | 677.21 | 693.57 | 2.415794214 | The budget variance is less than or equal to 5%. | Exempt under Section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Exempt under Section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Commercial Interests) - Commercial interests.) | Exempt under Section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Exempt under Section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Commercial Interests) - Commercial interests.) | 0 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree monetised benefits at 23/24-Q4 remained at 0m. |
| MOD_0056_2122-Q3 | Land Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance (ISTAR) | MOD | Military Capability | The Land Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance (ISTAR) Programme will deliver an adaptable, robust and agile system that will enable the Army to find the enemy at range in all operational environments. The bedrock of the system will be an open system architecture; designed to be fully integrated with current and future communications and information systems to enable digital integration across the Army, wider Defence, and our primary allies. This will enable a fully networked ISTAR system consisting of multiple sensors, that can be centrally commanded and coordinated. Automation will be used to speed up decision-making and reduce electronic emissions between component parts. The architecture, platforms and sensors required for the system will be developed and acquired separately, with a series of common standards ensuring that they remain compatible with the network. | Not Applicable | Amber | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the Senior Responsible Owner's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating at 23/24-Q4 remained at Amber. This is primarily due to the following factors. The lack of sufficient workforce is the single largest factor affecting delivery confidence. Additionally, industrial capacity and complex dependencies have added time and cost, affecting the ability to synchronise outcomes across the programme. | 2019-01-25 00:00:00 | 2027-12-31 00:00:00 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's end-date at 23/24-Q4 remained scheduled to finish on 2027-12-31. This is primarily due to the following factors. Though other sub-programme schedules within the overall programme have been delayed, ZODIAC, the core element, remains on track for delivery. The factors behind delays for other sub-programmes include delay to approvals and subsequent re-planning activities, complexity and sequencing of dependencies with other programmes, and the wider resource capacity issues in Army, delivery agents and the MOD. | 69.9 | 48.61 | -30.45779685 | The budget variance exceeds 5%. This is primarily due to the following factors. The programme did not spend its allocated budget due to delays in all four major sub-programmes. Key external factors were approvals delays (notably with SERPENS), industrial capacity and a dynamic requirement set. Internally, under-resourcing of workforce limited the pace of work and the ability to respond to change. | 1800 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree Whole Life Cost at 23/24-Q4 increased from 1598m to 1800m. This is primarily due to the following factors. Schedule slips have increased costs due to inflation and longer duration of standing programme delivery costs. Further cost growth is a result of additional clarity on costs as sub-programmes have matured. | 0 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree monetised benefits at 23/24-Q4 remained at 0m. |
| MOD_0076_1213-Q1 | Astute Boats 1-7 | MOD | Military Capability | To deliver the seven Boat Astute Class within approved performance, cost and time parameters, while actively contributing to the sustainment of the UK submarine design and manufacturing capability. | Amber | Not Applicable | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the Infrastructure and Projects Authority's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating at 23/24-Q4 remained at Amber. This is primarily due to the following factors. The Astute build programme has achieved the majority of its build and commissioning milestones in this financial year. However, the programme remains Amber because of potential delays based on current productivity rates, and the possibility of delay during the in-water phase for Boat 6. | 1997-03-17 00:00:00 | Exempt under Section 24 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (National security) | The programme remains committed to building seven Astute Class submarines. Boats one to five have been delivered to the Royal Navy while the remaining two vessels are at an advanced stage of build at the BAES Shipyard. | 389.52 | 411.52 | 5.647976997 | The budget variance exceeds 5%. This is primarily due to the following factors. Increased supplier pay settlement and rates. | 11256 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree Whole Life Cost at 23/24-Q4 increased from 10827m. to 11256m. This is primarily due to the following factors. A revised cost estimate for completion of the programme, factoring in inflation and delivery cadence within the Shipyard. | 0 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree monetised benefits at 23/24-Q4 remained at 0m. |
| MOD_0078_1213-Q1 | Core Production Capability | MOD | Military Capability | The Core Production Capability programme delivers safe nuclear reactor cores to meet the Royal Navy's submarine programme, now and for the long term. At closure, the programme will have provided the Royal Navy with the means to propel a renewed Deterrent submarine fleet, and will have provided the UK with a modern, safe, and Sovereign capability to manufacture further cores for a fleet of flexible and adaptable attack submarines delivered under the AUKUS agreement. | Red | Not Applicable | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the Infrastructure and Projects Authority's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating at 23/24-Q4 remained at Red. This is primarily due to the following factors. Ongoing challenges associated with achieving the required delivery date for the first Dreadnought submarine nuclear core and the importance of that milestone to sustaining the Continuous at Sea Deterrent. The programme is working closely with the supplier to address the risks involved to ensure core delivery remains aligned to Dreadnought Boat 1 delivery progress, whilst delivering the last core for the Astute-class of submarines. | 2012-04-23 00:00:00 | 2028-04-30 00:00:00 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's end-date at 23/24-Q4 remained scheduled to finish on 2028-04-30. This will need to be revised to reflect scope changes later this year as a result of core requirements for AUKUS, the revised scope will likely be approved in mid 2024. | 255.8 | 249.18 | -2.587959343 | The budget variance is less than or equal to 5%. | 4051 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree Whole Life Cost at 23/24-Q4 increased from 3772m to 4051m. This is primarily due to the following factors. Inflation cost increases. | 0 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree monetised benefits at 23/24-Q4 remained at 0m. |
| MOD_0079_1213-Q1 | Lightning Programme | MOD | Military Capability | F-35B Lightning is a key element of Combat Air, a 5th Generation combat air vehicle with advanced sensors, mission systems and low observable technology. The F-35B provides real strategic opportunity, and its impressive capability has already been demonstrated and is recognised. It is jointly operated by the RAF and RN from both land and sea, with a main operating base at RAF Marham which currently houses 617 Squadron and 207 Squadron, the Operational Conversion Unit (OCU). The Lightning Force growth through delivering the second squadron, 809 NAS, at RAF Marham is a key dependency for the successful delivery of a critical Defence milestone of Carrier Strike capability. | Not Applicable | Amber | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the Senior Responsible Owner's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating at 23/24-Q4 remained at Amber. This is primarily due to the following factors. The biggest ongoing risk to Full Operating Capability (FOC) is the provision of suitably qualified and experienced engineers to meet the operational workforce requirements. Successful delivery of FOC to time, cost and quality appears feasible but issues exist requiring management attention. These appear resolvable at this stage and, if addressed promptly, should not present a cost/schedule overrun. | 2001-10-01 00:00:00 | 2025-12-31 00:00:00 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's end-date at 23/24-Q4 decreased from 2069-03-31 to 2025-12-31. This is primarily due to the following factors. The programme previously reported the Out of Service Date of the aircraft in 2069 as the project end date. In accordance with IPA guidance, the end date now reflects the end of the Initial Procurement Phase. | Exempt under Section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Commercial Interests) - Commercial interests. | Exempt under Section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Commercial Interests) - Commercial interests. | Exempt under Section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Commercial Interests) - Commercial interests. | Exempt under Section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Commercial Interests) - Commercial interests. | Exempt under Section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Commercial Interests) - Commercial interests. | Exempt under Section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Commercial Interests) - Commercial interests. | 0 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree monetised benefits at 23/24-Q4 remained at 0m. |
| MOD_0080_1213-Q1 | DREADNOUGHT | MOD | Military Capability | The Dreadnought Programme will maintain the UK's sovereign ability to deliver a deterrent effect by means of a submarine-launched, inter-continental ballistic missile nuclear weapon capability. The programme will achieve this by replacing in-service the current Vanguard Class SSBNs with four Dreadnought Class SSBNs. The programme requirement was detailed in the Government White Paper 2006. The Future of the UK's Nuclear Deterrent, and subsequently endorsed in both the 2015 Strategic Defence and Security Review and the 2021 Integrated Review of Security, Defence, Development and Foreign Policy. | Amber | Not Applicable | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the Infrastructure and Projects Authority's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating at 23/24-Q4 remained at Amber. This is primarily due to the following factors. The Dreadnought submarine programme remains on track for the First of Class HMS Dreadnought to enter service in the early 2030s. Staged investments have delivered good progress on the whole boat design, production and supporting infrastructure development. However it should be recognised for a programme of this complexity, scale and duration, there is real risk, not least from interfacing programmes of work, and it is therefore appropriate to assess as Amber in Delivery Confidence. | 2011-04-14 00:00:00 | Exempt under Section 24 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (National security) | The Dreadnought submarine programme remains on track for the first of Class, HMS Dreadnought, to enter service in the early 2030s. | 2552.81 | 2676.7 | 4.853083465 | The budget variance is less than or equal to 5%. | 36706 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree Whole Life Cost at 23/24-Q4 increased from 33989m to 36706m. This is primarily due to the following factors. Inflation costs increases. | 0 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree monetised benefits at 23/24-Q4 remained at 0m. |
| MOD_0091_1415-Q3 | Armoured Cavalry 2025 | MOD | Military Capability | 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 will 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 Strike Brigade Combat Teams in 3rd (United Kingdom) Division. 589 vehicles will be delivered through a firm-price contract with General Dynamics Land Systems (United Kingdom). | Amber | Not Applicable | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the Infrastructure and Project Authority's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating at 23/24-Q4 remained at Amber. This is primarily due to the following factors. The impact of noise and vibration upon the overall programme schedule to Full Operating Capability has been substantial. Significant effort has been made between the Army, DE&S and General Dynamics Land Systems UK (GDLS-UK) to produce a jointly agreed, risk adjusted schedule, which is being progressed to reset programme approvals against increased confidence in deliverability, compliance, and value for money. | 2014-12-04 00:00:00 | 2025-04-30 00:00:00 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's end-date at 23/24-Q4 remained scheduled to finish on 2025-04-30. This is primarily due to the following factors. A jointly agreed, risk adjusted reset schedule is in place out to Full Operating Capability; the programme is operating to this pending formal approval of the schedule by the department and HM Treasury. | 314.42 | 231.33 | -26.42643598 | The budget variance exceeds 5%. This is primarily due to the following factors. The in-year variance (circa 83m underspent) is mainly due to the transition to the revised General Dynamic Land Systems (UK) (GD) Milestone Payment Plan that incentivises vehicle delivery and so moves 57m out of the current FY and in to future years. The remaining 26m reduction is driven by a slower ramp-up of Capability Drop 3 Production and Retrofit activities that was originally assumed. GD are currently operating 2 production lines and are working to resolve labour and supply chain issues that will enable them to expand to 4 production lines as planned. | 6979 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree Whole Life Cost at 23/24-Q4 increased from 6854m to 6979m. This is primarily due to the following factors. Most of the cost variances experienced over the past 12 months are re-profiling activity that affect the timing of costs rather than increases/decreases to the Whole Life Cost (WLC) total. For this reason there will have only been minor WLC changes (c.30m). The figure in the Budget WLC field reflects a 10yr budget figure, not the total WLC. | 0 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree monetised benefits at 23/24-Q4 remained at 0m. |
| MOD_0100_1516-Q1 | Skynet 6 (aka FBLOS) | MOD | ICT | SKYNET has provided Satellite Communications to Defence and other Government Departments since the 1960s. The SKYNET 6 Programme will provide a continuity of services to all military satellite requirements. This includes a new Service Delivery contract to take on existing core services and procurement of the next generation of space-based SATCOM capability. | Not Applicable | Amber | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the Senior Responsible Owner's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating at 23/24-Q4 has remained at Amber. This is primarily due to the following factors. Transition to a new Skynet Service Continuity Contract was successfully completed in February 2024. However, supply chain issues will delay Satellite delivery. The Programme continues to be impacted by people resource shortfalls exacerbated by civil service recruitment restrictions imposed in 2023. | 2011-01-01 00:00:00 | 2041-12-31 00:00:00 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's end-date at 23/24-Q4 remained scheduled to finish on 2041-12-31. | Exempt under Section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Commercial Interests) - Commercial interests. | Exempt under Section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Commercial Interests) - Commercial interests. | Exempt under Section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Commercial Interests) - Commercial interests. | Exempt under Section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Commercial Interests) - Commercial interests. | Exempt under Section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Commercial Interests) - Commercial interests. | Exempt under Section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Commercial Interests) - Commercial interests. | 0 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree monetised benefits at 23/24-Q4 remained at 0m. |
| MOD_0104_1617-Q1 | Armour MBT | MOD | Military Capability | The Armour Main Battle Tank (MBT) Programme will deliver the Challenger 3 (CR3) capability. Challenger 3 will be Defence’s only guaranteed, 24 hr, all weather, mobile anti-tank capability. This programme will modernise and improve the British Army’s MBTs to the standard needed on today’s battlefield. Key elements include enhanced survivability, greater lethality, improved surveillance and target acquisition as well as removing obsolescence. The currently forecasted out of service date is 2040. | Amber | Not Applicable | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the Infrastructure and Project Authority's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating at 23/24-Q4 remained at Amber. This is primarily due to the following factors. 1. Global supply chain risks and key supplier issues that could impact delivery. 2. Resource shortfalls and challenges to recruit the required skill and experience levels in the Army Programme Management Office; DE and S and key suppliers. 3. Delivery of broader capabilities required to transition the Challenger 3 (CR3) platform into service; these currently have unresourced gaps which could impact delivery within the required timeline. 4. Ability to obtain approvals and contract at pace to deliver the remaining scope of the programme in an acceptable timeframe. This mainly pertains to the Active Protection System. | 2014-12-04 00:00:00 | 2030-06-30 00:00:00 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's end-date at 23/24-Q4 remained scheduled to finish on 2030-06-30. This is primarily due to the following factors. The programme remains on track to achieve its key milestones. These are. Initial Operating Capability (1 Squadron of tanks with crews trained to the appropriate standard and held at readiness) – November 2027. Full Operating Capability (148 tanks delivered and all Key User Requirements met subject to subsequent approvals). November 2030. The platform Critical Design Review was achieved in January 2023 providing confidence in the design and readiness for the next phases of delivery. | 217.46 | 106.86 | -50.85992826 | The budget variance exceeds 5%. This is primarily due to the following factors. The main causes of the underspend are: The alignment of the Rheinmetall BAE Land Systems (RBSL) contract to the latest pre-series vehicle delivery dates, placement of the EPSOM Design and Manufacture (D&M) contract, confirmation of Government Furnished Equipment (GFE), alignment to the German Government plans for the Enhanced Kinetic Solution, the Active Protection System (APS) de-risking activity being removed, and FOREX volatility. | 1986 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree Whole Life Cost at 23/24-Q4 increased from 1435m to 1987m. This is primarily due to the following factors. At Q4 22/23 the Baseline Whole Life cost was 1435m. Following completion of EPSOM (New Armour System) negotiations this decreased by 13m to 1422m. As at March 2024 the new WLC of 1985m includes the costings for the full EPSOM 148 Inert sets and Active Protection System D&M. The review note agreeing this uplift is still subject to approval by the Treasury. | 0 | The project's departmental-agree monetised benefits at 23/24-Q4 is 0m. |
| MOD_0105_1617-Q1 | Land Environment Tactical Communication and Information Systems | MOD | Military Capability | The LETacCIS programme consists of multiple projects with the aim of delivering the next generation of tactical military communications in the Land Environment, and providing the means to make informed and timely decisions, enabled by agile Communication Information Systems (CIS). The LETacCIS programme is delivered by a partnership of Army Headquarters and Defence Digital’s Tactical Systems (TacSys) Service Executive, working as one team in collaboration with key industry partners. | Amber | Not Applicable | Compared to Financial Year 22/23-Q4, the Infrastructure and Project Authority's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating at 23/24-Q4 remained at Amber. This is primarily due to the following factors: Following a review of requirements under Project IRIS of the Land Domain Deployed Digital Ecosystem, and a reprofiling of the MORPHEUS Control Total, there is now an associated pause to realign MORPHEUS. This will require further capability enhancement to Bowman Combat Infrastructure and Platform (BCIP) to mitigate the delay to MORPHEUS, in addition to BCIP security and operating system obsolescence. The wider programme funding remains unaltered, with no impact to the other major change projects (ie. BCIP 5.7, DSA and TRINITY). | 2013-10-16 00:00:00 | 2035-12-31 00:00:00 | Compared to Financial Year 22/23-Q4, the project's end-date at 23/24-Q4 remained scheduled to finish on 2035-12-31. This is primarily due to the following factors: Whilst the Balance of Investment (BoI) decision made in Q3 will delay MORPEHUS, and there has been slippage in DSA and TRINITY, the schedule for the programme overall remains on track. Regaining momentum on TRINITY (now on contract) is achievable and work is underway. DSA will be subject to a thorough review of its delivery strategy and timeline, with a re-baselined schedule to follow in 2024/25 once the analysis is complete. | 174.8 | 136.18 | -22.09382151 | The budget variance exceeds 5%. This is primarily due to the following factors. The Programme forecast currently shows an underspend against Control Total of £39M, related to prioritisation decisions related to MORPHEUS and Dismounted Situational Awareness (DSA). | 13431 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree Whole Life Cost at 23/24-Q4 decreased from 13523m to 13431m. This is primarily due to the following factors. The main cost driver to the reduction in WLC has been the termination of project NIOBE and subsequent removal of In Year and future Control Totals. Previous Balance of Investment (BoI) decisions resulted in a reprofiling to Project MORPHEUS (a major LETacCIS Cat A project). The Budget Whole Life Cost (WLC) does not currently reflect the BoI reprofile. | 0 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree monetised benefits at 23/24-Q4 remained at 0m. |
| MOD_0107_1617-Q1 | PROTECTOR | MOD | Military Capability | Protector will provide a certified remotely piloted air system with enhanced capabilities (to 2040) over those currently provided by the inservice Reaper air system. Protector will provide armed, long range, persistent wide area surveillance with various sensors and be based at RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire. | Red | Not Applicable | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the Infrastructure and Project Authority's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating at 23/24-Q4 decreased from Amber to Red. This is primarily due to the following factors. Despite significant challenges, particularly relating to Equipment, Infrastructure and Information Defence Lines of Development, the Protector programme maintained its Amber Delivery Confidence Assessment and continued to manage risks and work through mitigations to progress towards the key milestones. Following the December 23 Gateway 0/4 (Strategic Assessment/Readiness for Service) Review, the Delivery Confidence has been moved to Red in response to a delay in receiving approval to re-baseline the Programme’s milestones and provides the route to Green. | 2009-04-30 00:00:00 | 2026-06-30 00:00:00 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's end-date at 23/24-Q4 decreased from 2038-03-30 to 2026-06-30. This is primarily due to the following factors. The programme previously reported the Out of Service Date as the project end date. In accordance with IPA guidance, the end date now reflects the point after Full Operating Capability (FOC) has been achieved and the Programme transferred to Business as Usual and graduated from the GMPP. | 222.82 | 153.43 | -31.14172875 | The budget variance exceeds 5%. This is primarily due to the following factors. Slippage in both the Protector Main and Enhance Protector Programmes partially offset by FOREX adjustments against the main programme. | 1463 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree Whole Life Cost at 23/24-Q4 increased from 1345m to 1463m. This is primarily due to the following factors. This is primarily due to the following factors. The Review Note has captured and fairly attributed cost growth as appropriate, to programmatic and macro-economic factors that have affected the delivery and affordability of the Programme. Foreign Exchange Rate increases are a significant factor for the cost growth. | 0 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree monetised benefits at 23/24-Q4 remained at 0m. |
| MOD_0109_1617-Q2 | New Style of Information Technology Deployed | MOD | Military Capability | The Programme aims to deliver an MOD-owned; highly secure; technologically advanced and evolutionary communications and information service that connects war-fighters and enables information advantage across the operational landscape. It will provide operational commanders in the Maritime and Land environments with a modern; enduring mission configurable command and control IT system that will deliver the operational services that they require at OFFICIAL; SECRET and Mission SECRET classifications. The in-house delivery of this new system; known as OpNET; will replace multiple deployable IT systems and will allow the MOD to extract itself from expensive; monolithic support contracts. | Amber | Not Applicable | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the Infrastructure Project Authority's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating at 22/23-Q4 remained at Amber. This is primarily due to the following factors. Delivery to the Maritime Environment remains complex and is regularly impacted by changes to platform availability. There are also ongoing concerns relating to resourcing in the face of centrally driven reductions in headcount. | 2015-04-01 00:00:00 | 2029-03-31 00:00:00 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's end-date at 23/24-Q4 increased from 2028-03-31 to 2029-03-31. This is primarily due to the following factors. Project End Date adjusted to align with Full Business Case 3 which was approved in December 2023. Full Operating Capability is now forecast to be declared in April 2030 primarily due to ship availability beyond the current approval caused by changes in operational deployments. | 113.69 | 93.61 | -17.66206351 | The budget variance exceeds 5%. This is primarily due to the following factors. The key factors are in year unspent risk inside costing, efficiencies mainly against material purchases, changed costing and further deferred costings. Further increases in the following year will be dependant on funding uplifts for deferred measures. | 1397 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree Whole Life Cost at 23/24-Q4 increased from 835m. to 1397m. This is primarily due to the following factors. Approval of Full Business Case 3 covering the next 5 years was received in December 2023. The in year variance resulted in a net 17m reduction in the Whole Life Costs. Further offsets against the in year deferrals will be dependant on funding uplifts in FY24/25. | 0 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree monetised benefits at 23/24-Q4 remained at 0m. |
| MOD_0110_1718-Q1 | MODnet Evolve | MOD | ICT | MODNET Evolve provides the essential base IT infrastructure needed by the MOD at OFFICIAL and SECRET on exit from the current contract with the ATLAS consortium. It achieves independence from major monolithic IT contracts by disaggregating them into components; and driving better value for money by exploiting the increasing commoditisation of modern IT services. Additionally; the associated ‘in-housing’ of key IT management capabilities enables MOD to regain control of its IT design; providing the basis for a single enterprise architecture that will meet the MOD's evolving business needs. | Red | Not Applicable | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the Infrastructure Project Authority's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating at 23/24-Q4 is Red. This is primarily due to the following factors. The IPA’s review, conducted ten months previously in May 23, assessed that while there is greater delivery confidence with the MODNet Official project there remains uncertainty with the strategic alignment of the Future SECRET project which may, as a result, encounter delays with the Outline Business Case submission. The SROs 23/24-Q4 Delivery Confidence Assessment of Amber was confirmed by the IPA the following month, in April 2024 when an Assurance Review recognised the significant progress made against the Action Plan. | 2016-02-29 00:00:00 | Exempt under Section 26 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Defence) | Exempt under Section 26 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Defence) | Exempt under Section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Commercial Interests) - Commercial interests. | Exempt under Section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Commercial Interests) - Commercial interests. | Exempt under Section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Commercial Interests) - Commercial interests. | Exempt under Section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Commercial Interests) - Commercial interests. | Exempt under Section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Commercial Interests) - Commercial interests. | Exempt under Section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Commercial Interests) - Commercial interests. | 0 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree monetised benefits at 23/24-Q4 remained at 0m. |

| MOD_0112_1718-Q1 | Type 31e | MOD | Military Capability | The Type 31 (T31) general purpose frigate programme is designed to deliver a general-purpose frigate capability and act as the pathfinder programme for the Government's National Shipbuilding Strategy. From the mid-2020s, T31 will be at the heart of the Royal Navy’s surface fleet, deterring aggression and maintaining the security of the UK’s interests. They will work alongside our Allies to deliver a credible UK-warship presence across the globe. Flexible and adaptable by design, T31 frigates will undertake missions such as interception and disruption of those using the sea for unlawful purposes, collecting intelligence, conducting defence engagement and assisting those in need. | Not Applicable | Amber | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the Senior Responsible Owner's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating at 23/24-Q4 remain at Amber. This is primarily due to the following factors. Successful delivery appears feasible but significant issues remain, requiring sustained management attention and mitigation. A commercial dispute with the Shipbuilder has been settled and the impact of inflation and a shortage of shipbuilding skills have been partially mitigated. Challenges also remain in proving the first of Class against an ambitious build timeline, a new combat system for the Royal Navy and the complex integration challenge. | 2016-04-01 00:00:00 | 2030-05-31 00:00:00 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4 the project's end-date at 23/24-Q4 increased from 2029-03-31 to 2030-05-31. This is primarily due to the following factors. Pressure to the schedule following dispute settlement is being assessed through schedule risk analysis and identification of opportunities between the MOD and Contractor. Any identified impact to Approved Dates will be subject to GMPP governance processes with the appropriate Approval Authorities. | Exempt under Section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Exempt under Section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Commercial Interests) - Commercial interests.) | Exempt under Section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Exempt under Section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Commercial Interests) - Commercial interests.) | Exempt under Section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Exempt under Section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Commercial Interests) - Commercial interests.) | Exempt under Section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Exempt under Section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Commercial Interests) - Commercial interests.) | Exempt under Section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Exempt under Section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Commercial Interests) - Commercial interests.) | Exempt under Section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Exempt under Section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Commercial Interests) - Commercial interests.) | 0 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree monetised benefits at 23/24-Q4 remained at 0m. |
| MOD_0114_1718-Q1 | Defence Estate Optimisation | MOD | Military Capability | Defence Estate Optimisation (DEO) Portfolio is a long-term investment of 5.1bn to modernise the defence estate. It is an ambitious portfolio of construction activity, unit and personnel moves; and site disposals that will deliver a better structured, modern, and more sustainable estate to support military capability. | Amber | Not Applicable | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the Infrastructure and Projects Authority's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating at 23/24-Q4 remained at Amber. This is primarily due to the following factors. An IPA review in January 2024 confirmed the Review Team were “satisfied with the close monitoring of Portfolio activities underway, continued monitoring of external events affecting the Portfolio and the adoption of previous recommendations.â€. It was recognised that the “governance structure based around central management was clearly working well and supports strong working relationships while providing a defence wide perspective and is a key driver for the current and future successâ€. The Portfolio is now in the delivery phase, successfully implementing the Contract Permissioning Group (CPG), designed to improve the efficiency and pace of approvals, and reduce procurement timeline for projects by up to 18 months. | 2016-09-30 00:00:00 | 2041-03-31 00:00:00 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the programme's end-date at 23/24-Q4 remained scheduled to finish on 2041-03-31. The portfolio has been re-baselined but the overall completion date has not been impacted. | 159.316 | 105.757 | -33.61809234 | The budget variance exceeds 5%. This is primarily due to the following factors. The adoption and refinement of project delivery under the new Delivery Commercial Procurement Strategy throughout Defence Estate Optimisation has resulted in in-year funding being allocated into future years, in line with the new approach to design and build. Additionally there have been legal, commercial and security challenges leading to delays due to changes in procurement strategy and design scope. Resulting in a reprofile of spend into future years. | 5208 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree Whole Life Cost at 23/24-Q4 decreased from 5438m to 5208m. This is primarily due to the following factors. Last year’s budget was set against Portfolio Baseline Version 11. The Defence Estate Optimisation budgets have been realigned to Version 12, which now includes the adoption of the new Delivery Commercial Procurement Strategy and endorsed by the Portfolio Board. As such programme schedules have been updated to align with this framework. The outcome has been the reprofiling of projects across the portfolio, culminating in reduced costs overall. | 17656 | At financial year 23/24-Q4, the projected departmental benefits were 17656m. This is primarily due to the following factors. Disposal receipts received from disposed sites, reduced infrastructure running costs and avoidance of lifecycle replacement costs at vacated sites together with the removal of projects from the portfolio. |
| MOD_0115_1718-Q2 | Mechanised Infantry Programme | MOD | Military Capability | The Mechanised Infantry Programme will deliver modern wheeled Armoured Personnel Carriers that can perform a range of roles to support the Infantry, Combat Support, and Combat Service Support elements across new Brigade Combat Teams - a new concept emerging from the Integrated Review. The vehicles will be a significant contribution to enabling a highly deployable, networked force to operate differently from conventional industrial age combat forces, offering unique competitive advantage whether fighting, peacekeeping or delivering humanitarian aid. | Not Applicable | Amber | The Senior Responsible Owner's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating at 23/24-Q4 remained at Amber. This is primarily due to the following factors. The programme still forecasts to meet its approved Initial Operating Capability in October 2025 but there are increased risks requiring strong management action. The lead contractors of ARTEC (a supplier), Rheinmetall, and Krauss Maffei Wegmann Nexter Defence Systems (KNDS) have not yet stabilised or fully resolved their ongoing supply chain delays to vehicle production, which is also impacting other areas including training. Further remedial work is also required on Technical Documentation currently being drafted to enable acceptance and safety case work. Similar supply chain issues are also impacting the supply of Bowman communications equipment for Boxer also compounded by obsolescence and global supply chain impacts following the war in Ukraine. | 2017-10-27 00:00:00 | 2033-03-31 00:00:00 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's end-date at 23/24-Q4 remained schedule to finish on 2033-03-31. This is primarily due to the following factors. The programme has maintained its overall schedule forecast since Q4 2023 against the approved Initial Operating Capability of October 2025, which allowed for risk and contingency in its delivery activities. Industry delays to equipment delivery have consumed contingent float and impacted other programmes aspects, but revised delivery plans are mitigating impacts, including some joint rather than sequential trials between industry and MOD. Early training of driver and operator/maintainer instructors have been undertaken collaborative with Dutch and German allies to de-risk training design, whilst industry are switching supply chains and identifying interim or alternate components to progress trials and manufacture. | 337.18 | 144.39 | -57.1771754 | The budget variance exceeds 5%. This is primarily due to the following factors. This variance was largely due to delays to equipment delivery and Bowman Government Furnished Equipment with the remainder a combination of reprofiling for training aids, specialist tools and test equipment, and technical publications. | 6967 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree Whole Life Cost at 23/24-Q4 increased from 6741m. to 6967m. This is primarily due to the following factors. The Programme Whole Life Cost (WLC) Budget (not cost) to Full Operating Capability has increased by 227m since Q4 22/23 as a consequence of re-profiling from prior years into future years. As prior year control totals are not reset as a result of forecast reprofiling, this gives an artificial picture of an increase in cost. This was a direct consequence of equipment and Bowman delays and prudent risk-adjustment. | 0 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree monetised benefits at 23/24-Q4 remained at 0m. |
| MOD_0116_1718-Q2 | Fleet Solid Support | MOD | Military Capability | Auxiliary Shipping to provide stores, ammunition and food sustainment to Naval Forces at Sea. | Amber | Not Applicable | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the Infrastructure and Projects Authority's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating at 23/24-Q4 decreased from Green to Amber. This is primarily due to the following factors. Since contract award in January 23, the project has been mobilising at pace to maintain the tight schedule to delivery. The prime contractor with the other members of Team Resolute are actively recruiting to build capability and capacity, with physical delivery focused on infrastructure investment and competing major sub-contracts for ship equipment. The reduction in DCA reflects the challenges recognised in maintaining a tight schedule against a difficult supply chain picture, post contract safety regulatory driven change and internal and external workforce retention and growth issues. | 2016-03-14 00:00:00 | 2033-03-31 00:00:00 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the programme's end-date at 23/24-Q4 remained on schedule to finish 2033-03-31. | 248.95 | 227.92 | -8.447479414 | The budget variance exceeds 5%.

This reflects the significant progress made by the Programme through the difficult early phase of mobilisation and accurately reflects the challenges of mobilisation, scope definition, solution design and alignment. | 2021-12-01 00:00:00 | 2030-03-22 00:00:00 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's end-date at 23/24-Q4 increased from 2029-03-22 to 2029-09-25. This is primarily due to the following factors. Changes in key milestones reflect the delay on transition to the Concept Phase, as a result of a protracted Strategic Outline Case approval and the reality of a Programme early in the scoping and solution design phase. | Not Available | Not Available | 0 | With scope and solution design still to be finalised in May 2024, the full cost model and analysis of affordability has not been completed. | Not Available | With scope and solution design still to be finalised in May 2024, the full cost model and analysis of affordability has not been completed. | 0 | The project's departmental-agree monetised benefits at 23/24-Q4 is 0m. |
| MOD_0137_2122-Q1 | European Common Radar System Mk 2 | MOD | Military Capability | The Phase 4 Enhancement (P4E) to the Typhoon aircraft includes upgrades to mission management systems, GPS resilience and navigational precision. It also provides the vehicle for the integration of the European Common Radar System (ECRS) Mk2 onto the aircraft. The radar is being developed to enable the aircraft to simultaneously detect, identify and track various targets on land and in the air and is vital to maintain Typhoon’s control of the air. It also provides a new Electronic Warfare capability and sustains Typhoon capability to operate in contested and congested Electromagnetic environments. The programme is being delivered via multiple interdependent contracts. Radar development is being led nationally by the UK, whereas the wider P4E changes to the aircraft systems are being developed with the other Typhoon Partner Nations as part of the international Eurofighter Programme. | Amber | Not Applicable | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the Infrastructure and Project Authority's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating at 23/24-Q4 remained at Amber. This is primarily due to the following factors. Despite delayed completion of the System Critical Design Review from September 21 to November 23, closure of outstanding action is expected in April 24. This has not impacted on the critical path development activities towards the Initial Operating Capability which are centred around antenna development which is progressing in parallel. With the earlier placement of the Phase 1 contract with industry partners, allocation of sub-contracts with suppliers to secure long-lead and high value materials within the terms of the Instruction to Proceed is ongoing. | 2021-07-01 00:00:00 | 2032-08-01 00:00:00 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's end-date at 23/24-Q4 increased from 2023-01-20 to 2032-08-01. This is primarily due to the following factors. The Q4 22/23 end date of 2023-01-20 was incorrect. It should have read 2032-08-01 and so is unchanged at Q4 23/24. Initial Operating Capability (IOC) and Full Operating Capability dates remain unchanged despite the delay to the System Critical Design Review. The establishment of a joint programme governance structure has allowed MOD and Industry to share information effectively and prioritise resources to maintain the schedule. The agreement of a proposal to complete radar development up to IOC has decreased the risk of schedule slippage in this area. Although progress has been made with the other Typhoon Partner Nations and their industries in fixing the scope and schedule of the development of the wider aircraft changes needed to integrate the radar and introduce other P4E capabilities, risk remains. | 140.09 | 221.93 | 58.41958741 | The budget variance exceeds 5%. This is primarily due to the following factors. An intentional bring forward of spend by reprofiling costs from future years. | 2904 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree Whole Life Cost at 23/24-Q4 increased from 2740m to 2904m. This is primarily due to the following factors. Reflects release of further budget to the Programme including the allocation of a budget for FY 32/33. The Programme’s Full Business Case was approved in March 2022 securing an Approved Budgetary Level (ABL) funding envelope which covers the equipment’s design and manufacture through to its Full Operating Capability and subsequent likely out of service date. There has been no change to the programmes requirements and the increase in Budgeted WLC is contained within the extant ABL. | 0 | Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree monetised benefits at 23/24-Q4 remained at 0m. |
