Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how much his Department expects to spend on E-Scan radar procurement in each financial year of the current Parliament.

There is an approved budget of £2.35 billion to deliver the Eurofighter Common Radar System Mk2 within Eurofighter Phase 4 Enhancements to be fitted to RAF Typhoon aircraft. A number of contracts for development have been committed, with production and integration contracts to follow, which will deliver the capability into service by the end of the decade.
