Army: Defence Equipment
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to page 108 of the Strategic Defence Review 2025, what multiple increase in lethality he has achieved; and by when he plans to achieve a ten-fold increase.
- Answer
-
The Army ​will deliver a tenfold increase in lethality over the next ten years by harnessing firepower, surveillance technology, autonomy, digital connectivity, and data - leading the way in NATO in its use of technology to change how it fights, improving speed and accuracy. However, a tenfold increase in lethality is not a single moment in time-it is a trajectory.
By 2027 the British Army aim to have doubled fighting power through better training, smarter use of existing capabilities, and rapid adaptation. Tripling by 2030 is within reach as we field new systems and integrate them into a digitally connected force.
