Artillery: Procurement

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how much and what proportion of the £800 million committed to a new automated mobile fires platform in the next ten years in the Defence Command Paper of 2021 has been committed to future projects.

Answer

Around £166K was spent on the Mobile Fires Platform (MFP) project between February 2021 and January 2022. As the MFP project is still in the Concept Phase, the remainder of the £800 million provisioned has yet to be committed to future projects.
