The UK is supporting and participating in a number of areas in the European Long Range Strike Approach (ELSA), including surface and air launched capabilities over different range and performance needs.

The very long range (2000km+) Deep Precision Strike programme launched between UK and Germany is an example with opportunities for wider European participation under ELSA.
