Seas and Oceans: Infrastructure
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he has taken with His Majesty’s armed forces to improve British fixed undersea surveillance capabilities.
Answered by Luke Pollard
The recent Strategic Defence Review (SDR) 2025 has set out strategic initiatives in the Maritime domain in terms of undersea surveillance capabilities to protect critical infrastructure and monitor threats. The SDR also advocates AI and machine learning to improve sonar algorithms and enhance data analysis for underwater surveillance. We will also continue our close collaboration with allies to monitor subsea threats and protect critical infrastructure.
