The DMO's outcome describes the results that the Government seeks from the DMO, and is achieved through the successful delivery of outputs, to the standards set in the Portfolio Budget Statements 2005–06 and, where applicable, revised in the Portfolio Additional Estimates Statements 2005–06. The Defence Annual Report 2005–06 reports our achievement against these targets, in both financial and non-financial terms.
The DMO's outcome is to ensure that Defence capabilities are supported through efficient and effective acquisition and through-life support of materiel. Two of the DMO's outputs reflect the DMO's role in capability acquisition and support and the third reflects the DMO's role in providing policy advice to the Government.
Output 1.1—Management of Capability Acquisition
Under this output, the DMO delivered specialist military equipment and associated equipment to Defence and supported the acquisition process, including all pre-approval activities for major and minor capital investments. All DMO Divisions contributed to this output. Expenditure under this output included the DMO's costs in delivering acquisition services. Output 1.1 represented 51.9 per cent of the DMO's expenses in 2005–06.
Output 1.2—Capability Sustainment
Under this output, the DMO delivered support for specialist military equipment and associated equipment to Defence. It included the maintenance of equipment and purchasing of inventory, such as explosive ordnance, fuel, stores and spare parts. All DMO Divisions contributed to this output. Output 1.2 represented 47.3 per cent of the DMO's expenses in 2005–06.
Output 1.3—Policy Advice and Management Services
Under this output, the DMO delivered procurement and industry policy and advice to both Defence and the Government. Corporate functions that would exist regardless of the scale or nature of the DMO's business are also covered by this output. This output represented less than one per cent of the DMO's expenses in 2005–06.
Appropriations and Other Resources
Outputs 1.1 and 1.2 were funded by payments from Defence for goods and services provided, as set out in Materiel Acquisition Agreements and Materiel Sustainment Agreements. These agreements were established between Defence and the DMO in 2005–06. Funding for these Outputs represents over 99 per cent of the DMO's funding requirements. Output 1.3 was funded largely through a direct appropriation. Table 2.1 shows the total revenue recognised from all origins for 2005–06, including appropriations.
