Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what proportion of the total cost for delivering Gravehawk will be covered by (a) his Department and (b) the Danish Ministry of Defence.

The price of designing, producing and delivering the first two Gravehawk prototype systems was circa £6 million and borne by the UK. The price for the follow-on 15 Gravehawk systems is circa £14 million, which is split 50:50 between the UK and Denmark.

Therefore, the UK's financial contribution to the Gravehawk project is circa £13 million.

The Gravehawk system is a bespoke air defence system rapidly developed for the Armed Forces of Ukraine and jointly funded by the United Kingdom and Denmark.
