Written question asked by Lord Astor of Hever (Conservative), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Drayson (Labour) on Monday, 30 April 2007.


Armed Forces: Bowman

Question
asked Her Majesty's Government:Whether the Ministry of Defence envisages a future operational capability being developed beyond, or in conjunction with, the Bowman combat infrastructure platform programme 5 as a result of the coalition blue force situational awareness demonstrator.
Answer

Following the success of the Coalition Blue Force Situational Awareness demonstrator in showing it was technically possible to exchange tactical situational awareness data generated by the Bowman combat infrastructure platform system with United States systems, we expect that future enhancements of Bowman CIP capability will address the requirement to exchange coalition blue force situational awareness information.
