Artillery: Procurement
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent progress his Department has made on the RCH 155 programme.
Answered by Maria Eagle
The Mobile Fires Platform project team will deliver the Remote Controlled Howitzer (RCH) 155 gun system this decade. The team continue to investigate opportunities to accelerate procurement and are working with industry to generate a costed proposal.
While the Army’s modernisation will continue over the next decade with a programme of investment worth billions of pounds, future capability development priorities will be guided by the Strategic Defence Review.
