Ajax Vehicles: Procurement

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the answer of of 19 June 2026 to question 9116 on Ajax Vehicles: Procurement, what improvements to the electrical power generation system on the AJAX vehicle platform he plans to make.

Answered by Luke Pollard

It would be inappropriate to disclose the full list of planned improvements to the Ajax family of vehicles, including specific improvements to the electrical power generation system, as doing so could, or would be likely to, prejudice the capability of our Armed Forces and ongoing commercial negotiations.

The Department continues to work closely with General Dynamics to ensure the programme proceeds safely, responsibly and transparently, delivering an improved user experience for our soldiers.

I will continue to keep the House informed about developments with Ajax, as I have done since Exercise Titan Storm via Written Ministerial Statement.
