Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, in what year the UK’s fully-digitised modern warfighting division will be deployable.

The British Army’s 3^rd Division is deployable. Future Soldier will see this Division modernised by 2030 with a variety of new capabilities built around a digitally networked combination of Ajax, Boxer, Challenger 3, long range precision fires and un-crewed aerial systems.

Additionally, as we’ve learnt through our support of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the draping of advanced technologies on to existing platforms can rapidly transform capability. The Army is exploring which technologies that have been successful in Ukraine could similarly be pulled through onto the existing force at pace.
