Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will publish a list of (a) businesses and (b) projects which have received matched funding from the emerging drone technology pilot scheme including the total amount received since 1 January 2020.

The Department does not have a specific drone technology pilot scheme, the Ministry of Defence is developing a Defence Uncrewed Systems (UxS) Strategy which looks to bring together our ability to develop, produce, adapt and operate uncrewed systems across all domains.
