Guided Weapons: Procurement
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of procuring the Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System.
Answered by Luke Pollard
The Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS), has been considered as part of a suite of systems available for the AH-64E weapons load, providing the platform flexibility to engage a range of targets with a measured effect.
The procurement for UK AH-64E is ongoing with the capability due to be integrated and introduced on UK AH-64E by 2027. The potential for use on other platforms remains under review and no final procurement decisions have been made for these.
