did not include the Chamber. The pre and post ranging runs with the Chambers on board would be for RTN information purposes.
ACTION: RTN to review and confirm acceptance of proposed location for Chamber foundations by August 2016. Any changes in location by the RTN will be advised by the end of August 2016. No response will be considered as confirmation of acceptance.
7. Communication System.
The Site Survey identified a number of points that are outside the current scope of work these are:
- 13 legacy Voice Terminals are to be replaced as part of the contracted scope of work. As a result of CONOPs discussions/understanding with the RTN on board the recommendation is to install an additional 10 Receptacle Units.
- Recommendation to include the replacement of the legacy 28VDC Power Supply for the retained IFF System in the scope of the Communication Rack upgrade.
- Recommended to include 2 new power amplifiers t support the legacy retained Horn Loudspeakers.
- Clarification required on the integration of the GFE Crypto, contracted scope of work includes integration however during the survey it was indicated it was to remain stand alone.
RTN reflected they would be providing as GFE a Public Address system, details of this would be provided on request by TUK.
Following discussion TUK agreed to produce and submit a system proposal reflecting the additional items and recommendation of the Survey. Following agreement of the system proposal, TUK and the RTN will consider and agree how any changes to scope may be agreed.
ACTION: TUK to request details of PA system from RTN. ACTION: TUK to produce and provide a revised system proposal for the communications system reflecting RTN additional requirements, RTN proposed PA System and recommendations of the Survey Report.

8. MCS/RCS
The Site Survey Report identified equipment essential to the correct operation of the new MCS/RCS systems. The correct operation of this equipment could not be confirmed and through visual inspection highlighted that their condition was questionable. This equipment is not in scope for this program but the performance of the proposed MCS/RCS system could be adversely affected if they are found to be non-functional at the time of installation/upgrade. RTN reflected as the MCS system required the Engine Equipment to perform effectively, they expected the additional equipment to be supplied with the RCS. TUL reflected that these components do not form part of the MCS system and are Engine components.
ACTION: TUK are to provide further detail in report format to the RTN reflecting the recommendations for replacement of engine interfaces and sensors.
ACTION: TUK are to provide the RTN with an MCS and Engine system schematic with equipment highlighted against MCS and/or Engine system accordingly.

9. Fire Fighting Systems
The RTN stated that the Fire Fighting Systems on board would be upgraded prior to the ships being dry docked for the upgrade work. Thales requested that information on the upgraded system be provided.
