Boeing P-8: Torpedoes
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, by what date does he plan to direct award the contract for the integration of the Sting Ray Mod 1 torpedo onto the RAF’s fleet of P-8 Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft to BAE Systems Surface Ships Limited.
Answered by Luke Pollard
The initial contract for the basic integration of the Sting Ray Mod 1 torpedo onto the RAF’s fleet of P-8 Poseidon Maritime Patrol aircraft was awarded to BAES Systems Surface Ships Ltd in December 2024 and work is ongoing to deliver this initial capability. Further phases of integration are anticipated in 2027 but are subject to investment decisions.
