The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the out of service date is for Desert Hawk III.
Answered by Maria Eagle
Project TIQUILA is delivering next-generation Remotely Piloted Air Systems (RPAS) that will enhance decision superiority and enable the delivery of kinetic effects on the modern battlefield. Project TIQUILA has delivered VXE30 and INDAGO 4 equipment to front-line units, who are currently being trained on them ahead of reaching Initial Operating Capability (IOC).
The VXE30 RPAS will reach IOC in April 2025, and the INDAGO 4 RPAS will reach IOC in June 2025.
The Desert Hawk III Mini-Uncrewed Aerial System exited service at its Out of Service Date in March 2023.
