Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent progress the Royal Air Force has made on the ECRS Mk2 E-Scan radar procurement.

The European Common Radar System (ECRS) Mk2 programme has achieved several positive milestones in the past four months, notably passing the production radar system Critical Design Review (CDR) in June 2024 and the completion of prototype ground testing on a Typhoon trials aircraft in July 2024. Teams across the Ministry of Defence and industry are working to meet the major milestone of a first flight of ECRS Mk2 over the coming weeks.
