Guided Weapons: Repairs and Maintenance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what progress has he made in converting the stockpile of Aster-15 missiles to the Aster-30 variant.
Answered by Luke Pollard
The Aster Mid-Life Refresh programme commenced this year with the refurbishment of Aster 30 missiles. A value for money assessment is underway to determine whether to convert the remaining stockpile of Aster 15 missiles into Aster 30s. If that option is taken forward, it would begin after the refurbishment of the Aster 30s has been completed in 2029.
