Australia’s 10 major defence projects that are late and over budget
Australia’s unique circumstances, including a vast continent and ocean to protect, often mean longer lead time for defence capabilities to be delivered.

Defence projects notoriously run late and over budget. But a new auditor-general’s report has revealed the 20 biggest acquisitions that the Australian Defence Force has underway are cumulatively more than 37 years behind schedule. The average delay is now 25 months, according to the report.
A delay is based on a project’s original Final Operational Capability (FOC) date – that is, when all the platforms or systems have been delivered, and they are ready for operation by their combat units.
Has anyone got access to the Australian Financial Review?
