We are committed to delivering large, complex and technologically challenging defence programmes to give our military the very best equipment. We recognise the financial risks in the equipment plan and are working to incorporate the recommendations of the National Audit Office and Public Accounts Committee's reviews of the Equipment Plan 2017 into our management of the Plan. Going forward, the Modernising Defence Programme aims to deliver better military capability and value for money in a sustainable and affordable way.
