Armoured Fighting Vehicles: Procurement
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the answer of 23 January 2026 to question 106284 on Armoured Fighting Vehicles: Decommissioning, what progress he has made on identifying a vehicle platform to replace Stormer.
Answered by Luke Pollard
As he will know the long-term replacement for Stormer is under consideration as part of the Heavy Protected Mobility (PM) sub-programme, within the Land Mobility Programme.
The Heavy PM sub-programme is in its concept phase and is currently evaluating the Finnish led Common Armoured Vehicles System (CAVS) Programme’s suitability in meeting the UK’s Heavy PM requirements.
