Armoured Fighting Vehicles: Procurement
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether the Patria 6x6 CAVS variant procured by the Army will have amphibious capabilities.
Answered by Luke Pollard
The Army’s Heavy Protected Mobility Programme remains in its concept phase and is currently evaluating the Finnish led Common Armoured Vehicles System (CAVS) Programme’s Patria 6x6. As part of this, a breadth of capabilities will be considered, and on current plans this includes amphibious capabilities.
Investment approval and procurement timelines are yet to be determined and are subject to the Defence Investment Plan.
