The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what progress he has made in implementing the Maritime Aviation Transformation Strategy.

Answered by Luke Pollard

The Maritime Aviation Transformation Strategy will ensure aviation remains capable and sustainable as the Royal Navy transitions to a Hybrid Navy of crewed, uncrewed, and autonomous platforms that will redefine maritime military power. Progress is being made across force generation, operating models and capability development.
