The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to page 109 of the Strategic Defence Review 2025, when the enhanced recce-strike capability via Project ASGARD will be (a) operational and (b) shared across defence.

Answered by Luke Pollard

I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave him on 8 September 2025, to Question 73577, which remains extant and explains the current position for the Army’s project ASGARD.

The next iteration of ASGARD, focused at Corps level operations, will be tested in Quarter 2 2026.
