Afghanistan: Peacekeeping Operations

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether the Talisman project is fully operational in Afghanistan.
Answer

The Talisman route clearance system is currently in theatre and should be operational soon. As with other counter-IED systems, Talisman is a developing capability and will continue to evolve over the coming months. I am withholding information on the exact schedule as its disclosure would, or would be likely to prejudice the capability, effectiveness or security of the armed forces.
