The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the feasibility of fitting the Case Telescoped 40mm Cannon to the Ares platform in (a) manned turret or (b) remote weapon station form.

Answered by Luke Pollard

An initial assessment has shown that it is not possible to integrate a crewed CT40 turret on ARES. No assessment has been made of the CT40 on a Remote Weapon Station.
