USER GUIDE The purpose of the Portfolio Additional Estimates Statements (PAES), like that of the Portfolio Budget Statements (PB Statements), is to inform Senators and Members of Parliament of the proposed allocation of resources to Government outcomes by agencies within the portfolio. The focus of the PAES differs from the PB Statements in one important aspect. While the PAES include an Entity Resource Statement to inform Parliament of the Revised Estimate of the total resources available to an entity, the focus of the PAES is on explaining the changes in resourcing by outcome(s) since the Budget. As such, the PAES provides information on new measures and their impact on the financial and/or non-financial planned performance of programmes supporting those outcomes.

The PAES facilitate understanding of the proposed appropriations in Appropriation Bills (No. 3 and No. 4) 2015-16. In this sense the PAES is declared by the Additional Estimates Appropriation Bills to be a 'relevant document' to the interpretation of the Bills according to section 15AB of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901.

Whereas the Mid Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook (MYEFO) 2015-16 is a mid-year budget report which provides updated information to allow the assessment of the Government's fiscal performance against its fiscal strategy, the PAES update the most recent budget appropriations for agencies within the portfolio.

DEFENCE PORTFOLIO OVERVIEW The Defence Portfolio consists of a number of component organisations that together are responsible for enabling the Defence of Australia and its national interests. The most significant bodies are:

• the Department of Defence: a department of state headed by the Secretary of the Department of Defence;

• the Australian Defence Force (ADF): commanded by the Chief of the Defence Force (CDF) and consisting of the three Services, which are commanded by Service Chiefs.

In practice, these bodies work together closely and are broadly regarded as one organisation known simply as Defence (or the Australian Defence Organisation).

As a result of the First Principles Review, the Defence Materiel Organisation (DMO) was delisted and reintegrated into the Department of Defence. To reflect this change to Defence’s organisational structure and accountabilities, the Defence Outcome 1 Programme Structure has been revised, and the Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Programme established.

The portfolio administers a number of Acts and Regulations that contain small entities, including a number of statutory offices, trusts and companies which are regulated by the provisions outlined in the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013. These entities are independent bodies, however the stakeholder management or administration of these bodies resides within Defence. These include, among others, the Defence Housing Australia (DHA) the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) and a number of Services Trust Funds and Canteen services.

The Minister for Defence’s Portfolio also contains the Department of Veterans’ Affairs and associated bodies, as it is designated as part of the Defence Portfolio in the Administrative Arrangements Order. The Department of Veterans’ Affairs is administered separately to Defence and information related to the department can be found in the Department of Veterans’ Affairs Portfolio Budget and Portfolio Additional Estimate Statements.

A full outline of the Department of Defence’s Portfolio Overview can be found in the 2015-16 Portfolio Budget Statement.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENCE

Section 1: Defence Overview and Resources

1.1 STRATEGIC DIRECTION STATEMENT

The following changes have been made to the Strategic Direction Statement since the Portfolio Budget Statements 2015-16:

A new Defence White Paper will be released in early 2016. The White Paper will set out the Government’s strategic direction for Defence, and will be accompanied by a ten-year Integrated Investment Programme and a new Defence Industry Policy Statement. The First Principles Review was announced by the then Minister for Defence on 1 April 2015. The focus of the review was on ensuring Defence is fit for purpose, its business structures support the Australian Defence Force and it can deliver on future requirements, which will be outlined in the forthcoming Defence White Paper.

The Government agreed or agreed-in-principle to 75 of the 76 recommendations. A two year implementation timeframe has been agreed. In combination, the recommendations will change the structure, governance arrangements, accountabilities, processes and systems of Defence. The combined effect will be a more unified and integrated organisation that is more consistently linked to its strategy and clearly led by its centre. It will involve:

• a stronger and more strategic centre able to provide clear direction, contestability of decision making, along with enhanced organisational control of resources and monitoring of organisational performance;

• an end-to-end approach for capability development with capability managers having clear authority and accountability as sponsors for the delivery of capability outcomes on time and to budget, supported by an integrated capability delivery function and subject to stronger direction setting and contestability from the centre;

• enablers that are integrated and customer-centric with greater use of cross-functional process, particularly in regional locations; and

• a planned and professional workforce with a strong performance management culture at its core.

Workforce Overview

ADF Workforce

No significant change from the Portfolio Budget Statements 2015-16.

Civilian Workforce

In line with Government commitments, Defence continues to reduce its Australian Public Service (APS) workforce through natural attrition, disciplined recruiting practices and a limited Voluntary Redundancy program aimed at reducing the number of staff at middle management levels.

Implementation of the recommendations of the 2015 First Principles Review, Creating One Defence, continues to reshape Defence’s structures, systems and processes. This will inform the size and shape of Defence’s APS workforce in coming years, and work is progressing to develop a strategic workforce plan outlining the distribution, skill requirements and other details of the workforce.

The tables below show the APS workforce reaching 17,500 by the end of 2015-16 before stabilising at an indicative 17,800 from 2016-17. The forthcoming Defence White Paper and Force Structure Review will influence the size and shape of Defence’s workforce, as each of these Reviews may change the workforce allocation for a range of capabilities over the coming years.

Workforce Summary

The total Defence fulltime workforce average, is now forecast to be 76,548 in 2015-16, comprising:

• Permanent Forces (76 per cent) of:

– 14,249 Navy Personnel

– 29,648 Army Personnel

– 14,172 Air Force Personnel

• 18,100 APS staff (24 per cent)

• 379 Contractors (less than 1 per cent)

The revised forecast for the Reserve Forces in 2015-16 is 915,000 days of service provided by 19,360 members.

Over the forward estimates period, the total fulltime average workforce will grow by 1,252 from the forecast of 76,548 in 2015-16 to 77,800 in 2018-19. The number of days served by the Reserve workforce will increase by 25,000 from 915,000 to 940,000.

Programme 1.8: Capability Acquisition and Sustainment



No changes have been made to the Objectives since the PBS 2015-16.

On 1 July 2015, the Defence Materiel Organisation (DMO) transitioned to the newly established Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Group (CASG) within the Department of Defence as recommended by the Defence First Principles Review. CASG continues to have the former DMO’s objective to provide the materiel equipment and sustainment elements of capability for the ADF in an effective, efficient, economical and safe manner.

1. Includes new project approvals and other adjustments yet to be actioned.

2. Management margin is an estimate of possible overall approved capital programme expenditure slippage that may occur as the 2015-16 financial year progresses.

The above table reflects the cash programmed to fund the current Approved Major Capital Investment Programme. The Total Programme Estimate for Major Capital Projects (serial C) is referred to as the Programme’s ‘Gross Plan’ estimate and is based on project expenditure expected to occur during the year in accordance with project schedules. The Management Margin (serial D) reflects an estimate of possible overall programme slippage that may occur during the year. This management margin is deducted from the Gross Plan estimate to calculate the estimated cash required for the Approved Programme (serial E). An estimate for projects that are planned for Government consideration and transfer to the approved programme during 2015-16 (serial F) is then added to obtain the total estimated funds available for the Major Capital Investment Programme.

The management margin is applied because of the inherent uncertainty in a programme with a large number of complex and long lead time projects. Unknown project events will occur which will impact on funding requirements. These events include cost savings and better payment terms, variations to project schedules, withholding of planned payments due to contractor non-performance, and variations to payments required under the US Government’s FMS Program. CASG estimates and applies a slippage model to determine the appropriate management margin and annual cash requirement for the programme.

The slippage model is predicated upon the assumption that for each year, a certain percentage of project Gross Plan estimates will slip or be accelerated. The percentages applied vary with the composition of the programme, the estimates update being conducted and the probability assessments of expenditure plan achievement provided by projects.

Aerospace Systems

Growler Airborne Electronic Attack Capability AIR 5349 Phase 3

3,751 1,649 890 420 -470

The first two aircraft rolled off the Boeing St Louis, US production line during July-August 2015 and are currently undergoing developmental test and evaluation in China Lake, California, US. Aircraft flight test will also be completed this year, culminating in the US Navy certification of the aircraft and mission planning software. The ALQ-99 and training missile production continues, as does production of the remaining 10 aircraft.

The variation is primarily driven by a revised FMS expenditure profile resulting in first quarter 2015-16 aircraft production and Airborne Electronic Attack (AEA) kit costs being paid in June 2015.

Maritime Patrol and Response Aircraft System AIR 7000 Phase 2

4,109 654 717 766 49

Following project authorisation, the US Navy has entered into contracts on the Commonwealth’s behalf with Boeing for Australia’s first four P-8A aircraft and the Flight Crew, Mission Crew, and Maintenance Training Systems. Australia’s first P-8A aircraft began production in October 2015. The variation is due to acceleration of payments for aircraft and the Flight Crew and Mission Crew Training Systems.

Additional C-17A AIR 8000 Phase 4

1,401 904 261 159 -102

The seventh and eighth aircraft were delivered to 36 Squadron at RAAF Base Amberley, Queensland in July and November 2015 respectively, and are in service with the Air Force. The variation is primarily driven by a revised FMS expenditure profile resulting in first quarter 2015-16 aircraft production being paid in June 2015.

Battlefield Airlift - Caribou Replacement AIR 8000 Phase 2

1,409 583 230 174 -56

Three aircraft have been accepted by the Commonwealth. The first and second aircraft were delivered to 35 Squadron at RAAF Base Richmond, New South Wales, in June and September 2015 respectively. The third aircraft will remain in the USA to support training requirements. The variation is primarily due to delayed aircraft production, spares ordering, and contracting of training devices under the FMS contract.

Lead-In Fighter Capability Assurance Program AIR 5438 Phase 1A

276 115 68 63 -5

Flight testing is progressing, with initial operational test and evaluation activities being conducted leading into the final phase of acceptance flight testing in mid 2016. Construction of simulator facilities remains on schedule to support installation of the simulators at RAAF Bases Williamtown, New South Wales and Pearce, Western Australia. Capability restrictions implemented for flight testing have been assessed as unacceptable for operations. To remove the capability restrictions, the Commonwealth has agreed a set of additional software assurance activities with BAE Systems UK. A re-baselined schedule has been negotiated with BAE Systems UK to recognise the impact to flight testing and conduct of the additional software assurance activities, resulting in schedule slippage of at least six months. The variation is a result of the contract schedule re-baseline to recognise the delay to the commencement of flight testing and incorporation of additional software assurance activities.

Air to Air Refuelling Capability AIR 5402 1,820 1,692 67 74 7

In November 2015, the supplier, Airbus Defence and Space, met all the deliverables against the exit criteria for the final milestone - MS27. Transition to sustainment shall be completed by December 2015. Three out of five KC-30A aircraft have completed the KC-30A Block Upgrade Program to bring them to a common standard configuration. Key risk to achieving Final Material Release date is schedule slippage of the modification program due to third party suppliers, green aircraft maintenance and sustainment intervention due to Operational requirement. The variation is primarily due to an increase in the required level of aerial refuelling boom spares as a result of higher usage, and a delay in the Simulator Final Accreditation milestone 17. The recognition of an expense related to recoveries from the contractor also contributed to the increase.

AEW&C Interoperability Compliance Upgrade AIR 5077 Phase 5A

640 18 51 169 119

A contract has been signed with Boeing Defence Australia to design, prototype, test and deliver upgraded mission computing and Identification friend or foe capabilities, and to complete design activities on selected interoperability upgrades for the E-7 Wedgetail aircraft and its support systems. The variation is due to the project receiving Combined Pass Approval for the continued acceleration, through to delivery of two interim Mode 5 Identification Friend or Foe aircraft and associated interim support systems.

The project has completed the majority of vehicle installations based on the designs delivered under LAND 75 Phase 3.4. The design for integration of the Battle Management System (BMS) into the M113AS4 Armoured Personnel Carriers has been finalised in preparation for installation activities commencing in early 2016. Risk reduction activities that were required to generate information for a future project approval consideration by government have been completed. The project is on schedule. The variation is due to a new requirement to relocate vehicles for the BMS Installation and the exchange rate.

Military Satellite Capability – Wideband Terrestrial Infrastructure

JP 2008 Phase 5B1

205 30 81 112 31

The initial acceptance testing and delivery of small, medium and large transportable satellite terminals remains on track to complete during 2015-16. The purchase and delivery of spares occurred earlier than forecasted. Exchange rate movement has also contributed to the increase in budget.

Maritime Communication Modernisation SEA 1442 Phase 4

458 54 71 56 -15

During 2015-16, the project finalised system preliminary design and is progressing detailed design and system level integration. In 2016-17, this project will finalise the system-level design and system integration in a shore environment prior to commencing First of Class installation. The project remains on schedule. Variation is mainly due to savings as a result of reduced cost of V/UHF radios being procured through FMS; early achievement in 2014-15 of Long Lead Time Item Review milestone originally scheduled in 2015-16; and re-scheduling of some initial spares procurement into 2016-17.

Improved Tactical Electronic Support Capability for ANZAC Class

SEA 1448 Phase 4A

282 70 69 54 -14

The project has successfully completed First of Class sea acceptance trials on HMAS Warramunga. Delivery of production systems and installation of the capability across the Anzac Class will continue with throughout 2016 and 2017. Some planned work for 2015-16 was brought forward and conducted in 2014-15. The remaining work is now schedule to be conducted in 2016-17.

Civil Military Air Traffic System (CMATS) AIR 5431 Phase 3 731 4 63 37 -25

The Airservices Australia led negotiations for the Civil Military Air Traffic Management System Acquisition and Support contracts with Thales Australia continue. While many complex issues have been resolved, the negotiations are falling behind schedule with contract signatures now expected to slip to the fourth quarter of 2016. In order to mitigate schedule slippage, a number of advanced work orders have been put in place covering initial plans and critical path engineering activities. Variation has been caused by contract negotiation delays and revised contract signature dates.

C-130J Large Aircraft Infrared Countermeasures (LAIRCM)

AIR 5416 Phase 4B2 231 34 46 41 -5

The Modification Readiness Review prerequisite for the commencement of the C-130J LAIRCM modification program was successfully completed in November 2015 and cleared the way for the induction of the first C-130J with Lockheed Martin in the US. Based on progress to date and the refinement of the schedule associated with the modification of the first four aircraft in the US, achievement of IOC will occur around mid 2016 which is three months ahead of schedule. The awarding of the firm fixed price design contract by US Air Force to Lockheed Martin under the FMS case has been delayed until early 2016, resulting in the variation.

Fixed Defence Air Traffic Control Surveillance Sensors

AIR 5431 Phase 2 196 27 41 22 -19

Prime Contract: Airbus Defence and Space (Contract signature occurred on 4 June 2015). The contractor has delivered the initial tranche of management plans which have been approved by the Commonwealth. Initial design work has commenced and the first requirements review will be held in 2016. The variation is due to delays in contract negotiations.

Helicopters, Tactical Unmanned Aerial Systems and Guided Weapons

Future Naval Aviation Combat System (FNACS) AIR 9000 Phase 8

3,474 1,607 546 344 -203

Aircraft production continues on schedule. To date 13 aircraft have been delivered to the Navy with a further nine aircraft on schedule for delivery mid-2016, providing a total of 22 aircraft in the inventory. The final two aircraft are scheduled for delivery in third quarter 2016. IOC at sea was declared by the CN on 24 September 2015. The variation reflects the 2014-15 outcome and a revised FMS expenditure profile resulting in first quarter 2015-16 production being paid in June 2015. The possibility of a further end of year variation of -$58m is emerging following a mid year review of the delivery schedule.

Multi-Role Helicopter (MRH) AIR 9000 Phase 2

3,762 2,730 212 171 -41

The 34th production aircraft was accepted into service in November 2015 and a further three production aircraft are forecast for delivery by the end of 2015-16. Number 11 of 13 aircraft was accepted out of the retrofit program and the remaining two aircraft are on schedule for delivery by the end of 2015-16. Ongoing development of the MRH90 capability, including successful deployments on land and at sea, saw declaration of a troop size (4 aircraft) deployable airmobile capability in September 2015. The variance is primarily due to reprogramming of funds in relation to prime contract deliverables and the procurement of training devices. This is partially offset by deliveries of additional Spares and Support and Test Equipment, payments against the Full Flight Mission Simulator Contract and foreign exchange variations.

Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile Upgrade SEA 1352 Phase 1

392 63 97 96 -2

This project will upgrade the existing Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile capability to ensure that the Navy’s surface combatant force can defeat the evolving regional anti ship missile threat. Post first pass, the project is funding Australia’s share of the NATO Sea Sparrow Consortium’s development of the Block 2 missile and ship integration studies and remains on track. Minor overall variance due to reprogramming of payments to the NATO Sea Sparrow Consortium.

Construction of the facilities at HMAS Albatross has begun and is expected to be completed on time to allow delivery of the key support elements such as the first flight simulator to commence aircrew instructor training in early 2017. Initial training of flight instructors on the EC135 helicopters was completed in Germany in September-October 2015. The first of the helicopters have been delivered to the Prime Contractor, Boeing Defence Australia. The project is behind schedule in the design of the training system. The Project Team and Prime Contractor remain focussed on schedule recovery to ensure pilot training commences in 2018.

Medium Lift Helicopters AIR 9000 Phase 5C 639 383 63 44 -19

The final CH-47F aircraft was delivered to RAAF Townsville, Queensland on 24 August 2015, three weeks ahead of schedule. Other project achievements include IMR on 1 July 2015 and Australian Military Type Certification and Service Release on 18 November 2015. The Project Team is focussed upon supporting the Army’s acceptance into operational service activities in the lead-up to planned declaration of IOC in early 2016. Variation is mainly due to savings as a result of reduced costs against various FMS case deliverables including aircraft production.

Joint Strike Fighter

New Air Combat Capability AIR 6000

Phase 2A/B 16,020 684 463 385 -78

Both of Australia’s F-35 pilots have qualified and continue to operate at the International Pilot Training Centre, Luke Air Force Base Arizona. The long lead items and support for next eight F-35A aircraft have been contracted. The construction of facilities at RAAF Base Williamtown, New South Wales has continued on schedule. The sustainment model, including training for Australian based support continues to be developed.

The risk profile of the project remains largely unchanged:

Agreement by the US to fund the next two years of production to enable planned ramp up in production represents a reduction in aircraft cost risk for Australia.

Stand up and delivery of an effective and timely F-35 Australian based training has emerged as a risk.

The JSF air system continues to mature at a slow and steady pace. The Autonomic Logistic Information System (ALIS) and reprogramming capabilities remain major risks.

The timely delivery of key infrastructure at RAAF Base Williamtown and RAAF Base Tindal, Northern Territory, remain a high risk. The potential for the RAAF Base Williamtown ground water contamination issue to impact facilities delivery being an emerging risk which is being managed.

The variance can be primarily attributed to delays in finalising contracts and the variable receipt of invoices through the US Government contracting processes.

The keel-laying ceremony for Ship 03, NUSHIP Sydney, took place in November 2015 and consolidation of Ship 02, NUSHIP Brisbane, is expected to be completed in December 2015. Blocks for NUSHIP Sydney have started to arrive in Adelaide from BAE Systems (BAE/S) in Melbourne, with block deliveries from BAE/S and Forgacs in Newcastle, New South Wales continuing until mid-2016. The AWD project is expected to contract the AWD Reform Strategy’s long term arrangements in December 2015, which will bring a re-baselined cost and schedule. The key challenges for this project remain the same - to increase shipyard productivity, ensure the most efficient use of current resources, and effectively manage costs. The variation is mainly attributable to the reprogramming of FMS, and Programme Management Office deliverables as part of the Air Warfare Destroyer reform. The total budget estimates incorporate an overall real cost increase to the budget.

This project has delivered a range of tactical radios and communications ancillary items. The project is expecting a delay of approximately three months in the delivery of the first 32 vehicles due to a sub-contractor going into administration. A schedule recovery plan is being finalised with the prime contractor to determine the quantity of vehicles that will still be delivered in 2015-16. FMR remains on schedule. This variation is due to supplementation from the MYEFO 2016-17 foreign exchange rate update.

Light and Lightweight Capability (LLC) Field Vehicles, Modules and Trailers

LAND 121 Phase 3 1,017 736 120 131 12

The delivery of vehicles and trailers has continued as programmed. The first production ambulance modules were accepted by Defence in June 2015. In September 2015, full rate production commenced, along with the concurrent introduction into service of the ambulance variant to Defence units. Performance testing of two prototype Command Post Mobiles (CPM) was conducted. Low rate initial production commenced in September 2015 with initial deliveries to Defence units occurring in November 2015. The overall production schedule of CPM remains the key risk. It is expected that this risk will be reduced once Full Rate Production is stabilised in early 2016.

The evaluation report is currently being finalised. The initial shortlisting of tenders to participate in Stage 2 of the solicitation process, the Risk Mitigation Activities (RMA) is scheduled to be completed in February 2016. The key risks for the project during the remainder of 2015-16 are protracted tender evaluation activities or extended contract negotiations with shortlisted tenderers, all of which would result in delays to the commencement of risk mitigation activities. The variation is due to extensions to the RFT closure date and a refinement of costs expected to be incurred for the RMA.

At the local level, this might translate to the crew of an aircraft spending a very small amount of time on the ground before it is re-tasked for its next mission. At the organisational level, this translates to available fighting forces spending very little time at home before they are deployed again for their next operation.

Outcomes The results that the Government seeks from Defence, and are achieved by the successful delivery of its outputs, to the standards set in the Portfolio Budget Statements. For more information, see Defence’s Section 2 - Planned Outcome Performance.

Special account Balances existing within the Consolidated Revenue Fund, that are supported by standing appropriations (Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013, ss.78 and 80). Special accounts allow money in the Consolidated Revenue Fund to be acknowledged as set-aside (hypothecated) for a particular purpose. Amounts credited to a Special Account may only be spent for the purposes of the Special Account. Special Accounts can only be established by a written determination of the Finance Minister (s.78 of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013) or through an Act of Parliament (referred to in s.80 of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013).

Special Appropriations (including Standing Appropriations)

An amount of money appropriated by a particular Act of Parliament for a specific purpose and number of years. For special appropriations the authority to withdraw funds from the Consolidated Revenue Fund does not generally cease at the end of the financial year.

Standing appropriations are a sub-category consisting of ongoing special appropriations — the amount appropriated will depend on circumstances specified in the legislation.
