To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what is the full scope of Project ZODIAC.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what is the full scope of Project ZODIAC.
Project ZODIAC will deliver and continuously evolve an operational capability that integrates, exploits, and disseminates intelligence and data from multiple domains and sources, providing commanders with enhanced situational understanding and decision advantage.
The project is currently in the competition phase, prior to the submission of its Full Business Case, and I am unable to provide further details at this stage.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority Major Projects Annual Report 2025 to 2026, Tables, Land Environment Tactical Communication and Information Systems, whether the programme is still operating at risk following the publication of the Defence Investment Plan.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority Major Projects Annual Report 2025 to 2026, Tables, Land Environment Tactical Communication and Information Systems, whether the programme is still operating at risk following the publication of the Defence Investment Plan.
The publication of the Defence Investment Plan has provided greater clarity on Defence investment priorities. The formal reset from the Land Environment Tactical Communication and Information Systems (LETacCIS) Programme to the Land Domain Command, Control, Compute and Communications (LDC4) Programme remains subject to departmental approval through a Strategic Outline Case (SOC) in 2026.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the Ministry of Defence annual report and accounts 2025 to 2026, Losses, for what reason was Project Morpheus cancelled.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the Ministry of Defence annual report and accounts 2025 to 2026, Losses, for what reason was Project Morpheus cancelled.
The reference to the cancellation of Project MORPHEUS in the Department’s Annual Report and Accounts 2025 to 2026 relates to the decision not to continue MORPHEUS as a standalone project under the former Land Environment Tactical Communications and Information Systems Programme.
The underlying capability requirement has not been withdrawn. The outputs that MORPHEUS was intended to deliver are still required and will be taken forward through the Army’s Land Domain Command, Control, Communications and Computers Programme, including through the Tactical Communication and Information Systems Optimisation Project and the Tactical Network project.
This approach reflects a revised programme structure to sustain and modernise land tactical communications and information systems, rather than continuing MORPHEUS as a separate project.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what is the full scope of Project CENTAUR.
The Army’s Project CENTAUR has now concluded, having successfully delivered equipment that enables beyond line-of-sight connectivity and supports more resilient and distributed command and control arrangements for deployed land forces, under the Land Domain Command, Control, Communications and Computers (LDC4) Programme. The upgrades are now being operated as an experimentation and innovation capability, with its outputs informing future Army communications capability decisions.

Delivery Confidence Assessments reflect that moment in time and will change throughout a programme's lifecycle. An assessment of Red does not mean that the programme is undeliverable, but that there are management interventions required as a priority in order to increase the likelihood of being able to deliver to approved time, performance and cost.
The National Armaments Director holds all the levers of procurement, enabling the necessary interventions to be applied in support of programmes assessed as Red.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what his Department's projected completion date is for Project Morpheus.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what his Department's projected completion date is for Project Morpheus.
Following the closure of the Evolve to Open Transition Partner Contract in 2023, the Army has sought to achieve the objectives of MORPHEUS through iterative and incremental delivery. The Army has already demonstrated some of these capability goals through Project ASGARD. The Army continues to deliver tactical communications updates and upgrades across Defence and therefore the objectives of Project MORPHEUS remain ongoing under the revised Land Domain C4 sub-portfolio.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the factors which contributed to the delivery confidence assessment rating for the LETacCIS programme decreasing from amber to red between financial year 2023-24-Q4 and 2024-25-Q4; and what steps he is taking to address those factors.

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

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent progress he has made on the Land Environment tactical Communication and Information Systems programme.
The Land Environment Tactical Communication and Information Systems (LETacCIS) programme continues to make progress. Most recently, the programme has:
- Delivered the Networks element of Army’s Project ASGARD, providing the Dismounted Data System to the Forward Land Forces in Estonia.
- Through Project CENTAUR, the programme has modernised the in-service Bowman system by increasing the geographical operating range using beyond line-of-sight systems such as satellite communications and 4/5G.
- Delivered into service 1360 modern software-defined radios through the Multi-Mode Radio project, providing the Field Army with a step change in interoperability and capability.
- Commenced a strategic reset from LETacCIS to Land Domain C4 to align with the principles set out by Army’s Project IRIS.
The programme has also been upgraded from RED to AMBER in a recent independent assurance review led by the National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority (NISTA). This assessment recognises the significant progress to transform and deliver digital capability at the pace of relevance.
