The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 5 January 2026 to Question 100908 on Guided Weapons: Procurement, if he will list the contracts that have been placed.

Answered by Luke Pollard

Under Project BRAKESTOP, 11 contracts have been placed covering development and production of prototype effectors, a bespoke warhead, test ranges and other ancillary services such as transportation and storage.

The entities with which these contracts have been placed cannot be named at this stage due to commercial sensitivities.
