Technical Risk Assessment of Australian Defence Projects

Abstract

The Defence Procurement Review (DPR) recommended sweeping changes to Defence Department structures, policies, processes and procedures for the acquisition of military capabilities. As a result of the Government's acceptance of the recommendations of the DPR, DSTO roles and responsibilities now include guidance on, and certification of, Technical Risk Assessments (TRA) for major acquisition proposals up to second-pass approval. This paper provides a structured approach for the undertaking of TRA and their subsequent certification. Also included are discussions of the underpinning principles, techniques and tools, training requirements and resource implications.
