The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether StormShroud will give the Royal Air Force the ability to conduct a pulsed operation.

Answered by Luke Pollard

StormShroud augments and enhances the effects delivered by Combat Air platforms such as Typhoon but given the complex, dynamic and interacting nature of the all the factors that may influence pulsed operations, it is not possible to say that StormShroud alone would be the deciding factor in the ability to conduct a specific pulsed operation.
