Uncrewed Systems: Testing
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 10 March 2025 to Question 34902 on Uncrewed Systems: Procurement, whether he has plans to change the process for issuing Defence Infrastructure Organisation licenses for the use of uncrewed systems on the defence estate.
Answered by Maria Eagle
Anyone wishing to apply for a licence to use Uncrewed Systems on the Defence Estate should contact the local Defence Infrastructure Organisation Office.
Officials will engage with the relevant Head of Establishment to determine availability of the site and any security restrictions. If the proposed use is considered acceptable, Officials will engage with the originator to issue a licence for which there would be a charge.
There are no plans to change this process.
