Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 20 June 2023 to Question 188871 on LE TacCIS Programme, what assessment he has made of the capabilities to be delivered by Evolve to Open system which are not available through the Bowman communications system.

MORPHEUS is a project within the Land Environment Tactical Communications & Information Systems (LETacCIS) Programme to deliver the next generation of Communication and Information Systems to forces operating in a Land Tactical Environment. Over time, MORPHEUS will replace the closed, proprietary, in-service Bowman system, with an open architecture system driving value through commercial competition for the incremental and evolutionary delivery of future Land Environment tactical communications solutions.
