Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to page 41 of his department's Defence Investment Plan, published on 30 June 2026, what type of vehicles will the £150 million be used to procure in the rapid development and production of uncrewed ground vehicles.

The Defence Investment Plan (DIP) outlined £150 million to commence a programme to rapidly develop and produce uncrewed vehicles for the Army, through UK industry.

The investment will support the development and procurement of a range of uncrewed ground vehicles for the British Army. These systems are expected to span a variety of payload capacities and, where appropriate, will employ common-base platforms and modular payloads to provide flexibility and value for money.
