Military Aircraft: Procurement

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 20 March 2018 to Question 132489, on what basis he plans to decide to run an open tender competition to replace the RAF's airborne early warning aircraft; and if he will make a statement.

Answer

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has yet to determine the way forward for the Airborne Warning and Control Systems Capability Sustainment Programme. Any decision on the way forward will be taken in the best interests of the National Security of the United Kingdom against current and emergent threats, and will only be made after full consideration within the MOD.
