Unmanned Air Systems: Procurement
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, What steps he has taken to procure counter-unmanned aerial systems (C-UAS) for HM Armed Forces.
Answered by Luke Pollard
The Department continually considers and develops improvements to Integrated Air and Missile Defence systems, with investments prioritised appropriately against the assessed threat picture as part of the future Integrated Force. As set out in the Defence Investment Plan, the Government has committed over £750 million to provide short range drone protection for homeland and deployed forces. This includes Project PRESAGIUM, which builds on the recent success of Rapid Sentry, and an increasing suite of low-cost ground-based effectors.
