This forecast outline sthe relative priority for delivering vessel systems for active crew engagement, which includes training, simulated operations and pre-launch crew rating.
Vessel systems are considered to have been delivered when sufficient simulation work has been completed to accurately reflect system performance for training purposes and physical construction of the system is underway.
Based on feedback from the previous passive sensor integration pass, specifically regarding the towed array, work has been continued on expanding options for remotely deployed sensor platforms.
Work on sensor suite integration into the basic spaceframe has been continuing, with the latest pass covering three areas: refining the navigational radio telescope installation, initial passive sensor placement, and long range long-range investigative sensor placement.
Thanks to work by the astronomy and sensors teams, we appear to be able to move forward with a forward facing radio telescope/long range navigational array, and a second integration pass on that system has been scheduled to pick up currently understood shortcomings of what had been, until Zoe the team working on the ATCA array came to the fore, considered something of a throwaway option.
While that discussion was underway though, integration of exterior systems into the design has been continuing, namely for the boat bay and propulsion array:
