Global Combat Air Programme
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether the core Global Combat Air Programme will be piloted.
- Answer
-
The Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP) core aircraft is being designed to be crewed when it comes into service, but the programme sustains an important technological and industrial pathway to developing advanced uncrewed capabilities. That will allow the programme to maximise the benefits of autonomy and artificial intelligence in a crewed aircraft and explore options for wider uncrewed systems to augment its capabilities.
