Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, on which platforms the Bowman ComBAT Infrastructure and Platform (BCIP) 5.6 is being installed.
BCIP 5.6 is currently installed on 14,816 Army and Navy platforms. There are 2,990 platforms that are planned to have their current BCIP builds enhanced or to be fitted new. The Army's new vehicle fleets, AJAX and BOXER, will have BCIP 5.6 fits and Challenger 3 will have an enhancement. The Army's Multi Role Vehicle-Protected is planned to have a BCIP 5.6 fit. These figures may change as a result of the Integrated Review.
