Defence Capability Plan 2006-2016
Abstract
The Defence Capability Plan: Public Version 2006-2016 (DCP 2006-16) provides a brief account of major capital equipment proposals that are currently planned to be approved in the period 2006 to 2016. Details relating to a small number of classified and sensitive proposals have been withheld. These proposals represent less than two percent of the total forecast expenditure. Proposals generally consist of a number of self-contained phases. Each will be reviewed and approved separately by Government. Planning for the later phases of some proposals is still too immature to provide specific details on each phase. The Government is intent on ensuring the investment in future capability is maintained at appropriate levels so that ADF capability is improved over time. To aid in this, funding for the DCP is increased annually to take account of the effects of general inflation and is adjusted to reflect movements in foreign currency exchange rates. The Government has committed to continuing the 3% Defence White Paper 2000 growth in funding for the DCP beyond FY 2010/11 to ensure that Defence can continue to meet the capability goals set out in the White Paper into the future. The graph below shows the cumulative funds available to the DCP and for total major capital equipment investment over the next decade to FY 2015/16, compared to the cumulative funds available in the previous DCP 2004-14 decade.
