Challenges

The Ajax programme remains challenging, significant technical issues relating to noise and vibration have been identified in the demonstration phase, which have impeded further progress being made on demonstration. Production has continued as the programme resolves the technical challenges. More detail is provided in the project overviews in Annex B.

In Year Progress

The Armoured Cavalry Programme remains challenging. Emerging technical issues with noise and vibration have been identified in the demonstration phase which have resulted in delays to the programme. The vehicles are subject to staged safety case assessments and approvals for design and
operation, which alongside the requirements, are evidenced from written assessments, acceptance trials, reliability growth trials, battlefield trials and other validation and verification methods. Following a pause in dynamic testing and training in June, trials at the independent Millbrook Proving Ground resumed in September with agreement from a Safety Assurance Panel for Ajax. Extensive work is being undertaken on the Health and Safety aspects of noise and vibration. The health of our personnel remains our top priority and additional work is ongoing to assess and support the health of all personnel potentially affected.

The independent trials are essential to provide the evidence to support fundamental root cause analysis and to enable the safe resumption of wider trials and training activity. The focus for the MOD and General Dynamics remains on identifying the root causes of the noise and vibration issues to develop long-term solutions to ensure Ajax meets the Army’s need. New work is being conducted between MOD and Industry to examine and test potential design modifications as part of the overall solution.

A recovery plan for the Programme is being prepared and declaration of Initial Operating Capability will not be made until solutions have been determined for the effective resolution of the noise and vibration concerns. Work continues with MOD and General Dynamics both fully committed to delivering a safe resolution and deliver this important capability.

The Ajax programme
The Department expects Ajax to improve its armoured vehicle capability significantly. So far, it has insisted that GDLS-UK will deliver 589 Ajax vehicles for the agreed contract price of £5.522 billion. But the in-service date has already increased by four years and the Department does not know when it will be able to start using the vehicles. The programme continues to face significant problems and there is not yet agreement on the causes of critical safety issues or how these will be resolved. There are other technical issues which still need to be addressed and wider problems in developing the enabling capabilities that will allow Ajax to achieve full capability. These problems mean that the Department has not demonstrated value for money on the £3.167 billion it has spent so far through this contract.

The Department’s and GDLS-UK’s approach was flawed from the start as they did not fully understand the scale or complexity of the programme. A series of programme management failures have since led to missed programme milestones and unresolved safety and technical issues. The two parties remain in dispute over unresolved contractual, safety and technical issues.
