Army: Military Intelligence
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what funding has been allocated for the implementation of ASGARD for the British Army.
Answered by Luke Pollard
ASGARD will create a digitally enabled reconnaissance and strike network, bringing together sensors, decision-support tools and precision weapons to improve decision-making and increase lethality. With continued investment and oversight, ASGARD will deliver incremental capability upgrades between 2026 and 2029, aligned with the Army Command Plan, NATO standards and Defence’s Digital Target Web.
The overall cost of ASGARD will continue to develop and change as it progresses, however future funding plans for ASGARD are being considered as part of the Defence Investment Plan.
With regards to the implementation of ASGARD, I refer the hon. Member to Question 73577, which remains extant and explains the current position for the project.
The next iteration of ASGARD, focused at Corps level operations, will be tested in Quarter two 2026.
