The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he has taken to support the (a) development and b) procurement of digital artillery fire control systems.

Answered by Luke Pollard

The British Army has an in-service digital artillery fire control system which has been continuously iterated and improved in partnership with industry for over a decade. We are continuing to enhance and evolve this capability, and as new artillery systems are procured and brought into service, they will be fully integrated with the fire control system.
