Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how much will be spent on uncrewed and autonomous testing for the British Army in the (a) current and (b) remaining financial years of this Parliament.

The information is not held centrally and could only be provided at disproportionate cost.

There is a range of test and evaluation activity planned across Project CORVUS, Project NYX, Uncrewed Ground Vehicle development activities and other Army uncrewed and autonomous capability programmes. However, costs specific to test and evaluation are not accounted for separately from wider programme and operating costs.
