Uncrewed Systems: Testing
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he is taking steps to allow SMEs greater access to ranges owned by his Department for the testing of uncrewed systems.

Any use of uncrewed systems would be subject to the issue of a Defence Infrastructure Organisation licence. Every request for third party use of the estate is managed through this process.
