AML - Autonomous Multi-Domain Launcher (LRPF-IFPC)

[Kirkhill]

So, process wise, there is nothing to stop our Treasury Board filling warehouses with munitions?

Projects follow this process:

Identification
Options Analysis
Definition
Implementation

Major contracts will generally be let as a project exits Def to enter Imp.

Projects may have multiple phases of Def and Imp, and often will have infra components as well, which may include second order requirements as well.

It's the ammo issue I was wondering about. I'm used to seeing an initial stock of arty ammo come with a new system project but subsequent to that its a national procurement budget issue. Correct? I seem to recall M777 was a bit messy going from UOR to in-service.

UOR is a four letter word...

But yes, a non UOR is responsible for initial provisioning of spares and ammo. I believe the current standard is thirty days of supply.
