Military Intelligence: Digital Technology

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the hearing of the Defence Committee on 7 July 2026, HC 530, what plans his Department has to accelerate the delivery of the Digital Targeting Web.

Answer: I refer the hon. Member to the answer I provided to the hon. Member for Huntingdon (Ben Obese-Jecty) on 5 February 2026 to Question 109315, which referred him to the answer provided to him to Question 96241 on 10 December 2025. The Digital Targeting Web is a continually evolving ecosystem and not a capability in the traditional sense. As such, its development will be an ongoing, iterative process, therefore pace of delivery will be a natural function of contemporary requirements or demands supported by resource.
