The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what his planned timetable is for when the Crowsnest airbone early warning system will achieve Full Operating Capability.

The Royal Navy’s Merlin Mk2 Airborne Surveillance and Control helicopter, as delivered by the CROWSNEST programme, has been in service since March 2021. The Programme is in the final stages of delivery for Full Operating Capability - expected by 28 March 2025, which is within its approved date.
