(asked on 11th September 2023) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how does his Department define its Carrier Enabled Power Projection.
This question was answered on 19th September 2023
Carrier Enabled Power Projection (CEPP) consists of the acquisition of three core programme elements: the Queen Elizabeth Class aircraft carriers; Lightning II aircraft and the CROWSNEST radar system.
The capability that CEPP provides is primarily Carrier Strike but is also able to support littoral and discrete operations, provide humanitarian assistance and conduct defence diplomacy. It is fully interoperable with NATO and coalition allies.
