The Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES) advises:
(a) - (b) The functional specifications of the Automated Vehicle location (AVL) system are expected to be completed by the end of 2014, and will be tendered and procured separately and then integrated with other crew protection components.
The comprehensive crew protection implementation is part of a four year program comprising several separate contracts for implementing crew protection systems, as part of the larger Future Fleet Project. The AVL program rollout is intended to be completed by October 2017.
