Ballistic Missile Defence

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, when the CCAs will play a key role in the IAMD.

Answer

Through the 2030s Collaborative Combat Aircraft are expected to also play a key role in Integrated Air and Missile Defence as they augment combat air platforms, initially in the Air-to-Air role to help facilitate control of the air. Potential further capability uses continue to be explored to ensure the MOD can capitalise any emerging technologies such as autonomy.
