Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent discussions he has had with officials in his Department on the latest timetable for delivery of the Morpheus programme.
The Ministry of Defence (MOD) is considering the optimum route to achieve delivery of the full MORPHEUS capability. The delivery of Morpheus is not a requirement for Ajax to achieve Full Operating Capability
The Department retains the ambition to deliver a fully digitised warfighting division by 2030, as set out in Future Soldier.
MOD officials are in regular discussions with General Dynamics Mission Systems UK to establish a way forward.
Both the Secretary of State for Defence and the Minister for Defence Procurement are regularly updated by the Senior Responsible Owner of the Morpheus programme.
