Unmanned Air Systems: Procurement
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 15 May 2025 to Question 46138 on Unmanned Air Systems: Procurement, how many variants within the FPV drones procured by his Department have a NATO stock number; and what those stock numbers are.
Answered by Maria Eagle
Aside from MOD’s procurement of circa 30,000 FPV drones for Ukraine the Army has procured 450 FPVs with a further 3,000 for delivery August 2025. The Royal Navy and Royal Air Force have procured a small number of FPVs for test and evaluation by the Defence Uncrewed Systems Design Authority and the Air and Space Warfare Centre. Details on specific FPV drones for operational purposes are sensitive and therefore any further commentary, including details of NATO stock numbers, would be inappropriate.
