Military Aircraft: Helicopters
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether his Department plans to undertake a refresh of the 2012 Defence Rotary Wing Capability Study.
Answered by Luke Pollard
Rotary Wing capability is vital to our Armed Forces' ability to manoeuvre and confront adversaries. We have kept our approach to Rotary Wing capability planning up to date through iterative updates to the Rotary Wing Strategy, last published in 2021, including considerations of usage of future and emerging technologies in Rotor Craft up to 2040 and beyond. Rotary Wing force design is a key consideration as part of the forthcoming Defence Investment Plan, the outcome of which will define the future capability plan.
