• Due to high power radar tx’ns produced by the 2DR and CWI they are not to tx alongside without permission of the WEO.
• In addition HF tx’ns greater than 500W are not permitted without authorisation from the WEO.
• Alongside Auckland:
• Sonar - High Power Transmission. No active high power sonar transmissions are
• to take place in the Auckland
• Harbour limits without the prior approval (by signal) of LC(M). The format for a request to transmit high powered is at Article 0904 of Reference C.
• Radar - High Power Transmission. Transmissions on SPS-49 and CWI are prohibited within Auckland
• Harbour (Article 0219 of Reference C refer). Additionally, IFF and TIR are also prohibited in accordance with Reference D. There are no further limitations with the exception of own-ship RADHAZ and relevant EMCON policies in force.
• Rotation. There are no restrictions on rotation of emitters within Auckland with exception of own-ship RADHAZ.

Communications. Whilst alongside at DNB there are no restrictions on communications transmissions with exception of RADHAZ onboard and on adjacent ships, buildings or cranes.

• Maintain a current picture of the complete combat andcommunication systems;
• Designate resources to effectively repair defects;Re-configure equipment to maintain operability;Advise command of WE system defects and their effects on the ship’s role through the WSA;
• Maintain a DC Incident Board and advise command of effect on combat system availability, andProvide assistance to other organisations as required (evolution teams, DC parties, etc).
• The WEWO is in charge of ECC, which is done from ECC1.
• As I/C ofECC1 the WEWO is responsible for collating equipment casualty reports, initiating repair action and advising the WSA of the state of all WE Systems. The WEWO acts as the WSA in the event of the WEOs absence or casualty.

Onboard continuation training.Sea Riders are briefed prior to sailing.RADAHZ Responsible Officer (RRO – WEO on a frigate) shall be accountable to the CO for:All matters concerning on/off ship hazards associated with RF.Maintaining the RADHAZ Log.Maintaining the HAZARD Stateboard.DWEO/AWEO is responsible for:Overall coordination of Ship’s RADHAZ organisation and operational aspects of RADHAZ.Ensuring all OODs/OOWs are fully conversant withRADHAZ Board procedures

• IG(N) uses Key performance indicators to measure
• output of the navy against MOD requirements

• Material Screen Request (MSR) can only be used
• to rectify OPDEF/STOREDEM – situations of an urgent mater. These procedures are controlled by the Material Control Officer (MATCONOFF) which is
• usually the SO on the senior ship (iaw NZBR 26 - RNZN Materiel Management Instructions).

It creates an OPDEF

• Priority 2 - Other Breakdowns and Mandatory Planned Maintenance
• Priority 3 - Planned Non Mandatory Maintenance
• Priority 4 - Minor Unprogrammed Work

The consequence of creating a Priority 1 job is that it will be an OPDEF. It will be assigned an O number and given priority over Mandatory Planned Maintenance

The CCB is the authority for authorisation or rejection of proposed changes/ECPs in the RNZN for ECPs that are to be entered into the capital program.

• It consists of
• ACN (CAP) or CFS,
• GLX Branch Head,
• DNCR or MA to MCC,
• DNE or DNLOG,
• And DWE, DME, DNC depending on the ECP.

• The ERB is the authority for authorisation or
• rejection of proposed changes/ECPs for configuration management of product baseline ECPs in the RNZN. Projects go to the ERB before the start of the Design
• and Development Phase.

It consists of CFS, the CFS HODs, and EC Support Manager (FMMO),.

Members normally meet on a monthly basis

• The Work Specifications provide a detailed description of the individual items of contract work. It is used as a contract between the RNZN and the contractor (BFL).(Originator) Work spec raised by ship.
• (Level 1) Work spec edited by Spec Section, work raised.

Asset Planning Management Planning System

The RNZNs budget is split into an Operational and Capital Budget

Operational items are items that have a life of less than one year: repairs to capital assets, personnel pay and allowances, fuel, ammunition, and maintenance

Capital funding is allocated for enhancement of capability and infrastructure. Assets (worth more than $5K) that have a life of more than one year and will be used over a number of years are capital (ie fixed assets eg ships, generators, software, buildings). It also includes enhancements of the service potential of existing fixed assets (eg quality, quantity, life)

Capital funding is divided into the capital programme (major, minor, and discretionary).

• Capital Programme – Major: covers capability and
• infrastructure capital projects that have an estimated cost of $7M or more including GST (also projects less than $7M but change the the OC of the RNZN).
• The CP-major is also referred to as the long term development plan (LTDP).
• These projects must be approved at a MOD level, or cabinet if $15mil or greater

• The Capital Programme - Minor covers capability
• and infrastructure projects which have an estimated cost of between $100K excluding GST and $7M inclusive of GST

• The Capital Programme - Discretionary covers
• capability and infrastructure projects which have an estimated capital cost of between $5K excluding GST and $100K inclusive of GST

• Fixed Asset Funding Application (FAFA) is
• used to describe and justify the purchase of
• a fixed asset between $5K and $100K (Capital Program – Discretionary).
• Minor Force Development Proposal (MFDP). Application to describe and justify the
• purchase of a fixed asset between $100K and $7M.

• Force Development Proposal (FDP). Application
• to describe and justify the purchase of a fixed asset for the Capital Program - Major

Consolidated On Board Spares Allowance List. This is a unique list for each ship of all stores required to be carried. COSAL amendments are sent to the Ships by NSD and amended in PA by the POSA

ASET Class (asset). These are major assemblies and sub assemblies (radar, turret, Angus fire-pump), over $5000 in value at time of procurement and repairable. ASET items are recorded in a Fixed Asset Register (FAR).

DAIU Class (non-consumable). Items that require further accounting when receipted. A DAIU classification is applied to items which are repair-able.

CONS Class (consumable). Items of a consumable or disposable nature, these items are consumed in use.

Skeleton Class. A temporary classification pending full codification, initially created as a Permanent System Control Number (PSCN) or Defence Logistics Accounting Number (DLAN).

• Revenue: Reso, Housing, Hiring equipment, etc.
• Personnel: Paye, Super, ACC, Allowences, etc.
• Capital: Assets, Capital charge, etc.
• Operational: Fuel, Non-capital ($5k and less than one year).
