To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, when will the first test be for the STRATUS missile.
This question was answered on 19th August 2026
The Stratus programme continually advances the technology readiness levels and system maturity through a combination of modelling, sub-system testing and trials. To date, the programme has completed testing of the airframe design, engine demonstration, warhead and seeker performance. The first full scale system tests are scheduled from 2028.
