Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what progress has been made on Test and Evaluation (T&E) Transformation.

Following its launch in 2021, the T&E Transformation programme has concluded its discovery phase, launched its programme concept for future test and evaluation (Future Advantage through Evaluation) and is in its first delivery phase aligning to key outcomes highlighted in the Strategic Defence Review, Defence Industrial Strategy and Defence Investment Plan. Progress to note this year is its delivery of Flight Termination Systems, T&E activity at BATUS and the planned launches of the T&E Marketplace and the High-Fidelity Synthetic T&E Range.
