Trident Missiles: Testing
(asked on 27th May 2015) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the results are of all WP186 missile compensation tests undertaken by Trident submarines since May 2010.
This question was answered on 3rd June 2015
These tests are part of a submarine's preparation for deployment. It may take more than one attempt for a submarine to pass the Weapons Procedure 186 missile compensation test, but Trident submarines do not go on patrol without successfully passing. For the purpose of safeguarding national security I am unable to disclose details of these tests.
