Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to equip British soldiers with tactical drone detection capabilities; and what assessment they have made of available smartphone-based solutions.

The British Army continues to revolutionise its fighting capabilities, improving their range, persistence, precision and mass. Learning from ongoing conflicts as well as independent first-principle thinking, the ability of our Armed Forces to counter the threat of highly developed uncrewed air systems is of vital importance. For reasons of operational security and commercial sensitivity, I am unable to disclose further details.
