Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 20 March 2018 to Question 132489, on AWACS, whether he has allocated an out of service date for the current RAF airborne early warning aircraft; and if he will make a statement.
The 2015 Strategic Defence and Security Review recognised the need to invest in and sustain the RAF's Air Battlespace Management capability to at least 2035. This is being considered as part of the Airborne Warning and Control Systems Capability Sustainment Programme.
