Unmanned Air Systems: Procurement
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, for what reason the Protector programme has a red delivery confidence rating.
Answered by Luke Pollard
A Protector Review Note will be produced after the results of the Defence Investment Plan, due to be published later this year, have been analysed. It is therefore not possible to provide a timetable for the Review Note approval at this time however, once approved it will provide a pathway to Full Operating Capability and support Red to Green delivery assessment confidence.
The delivery confidence assessment was assessed as Red by the National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority, primarily due to the programme awaiting previous Review Note approvals.
