Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what is the full scope of Project MORPHEUS.

Answer

MORPHEUS is a project within the Land Environment Tactical Communications and Information Systems (LETacCIS) Programme with the aim of delivering the next generation of Communication and Information Systems to forces operating in a Land Tactical Environment, inclusive of the Royal Navy in the littoral environment and elements of the Royal Air Force.

MORPHEUS was initiated to replace Bowman, MOD’s current in-service Tactical Communications and Information System capability, and aimed to:

- Exploit modern technology to deliver a new, more capable baseline capability from which we can more rapidly evolve

- Enable easier and more effective interoperability, both with other UK systems, and with allies

- Lower the training burden on users, through more intuitive interfaces

- Avoid vendor lock-in, and use competition to drive Value for Money

- Employ open architectures, to more easily integrate new technologies
