Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment has he made of whether the Future Cruise Anti-Ship Weapon programme will meet all extant key user requirements.
The Future Cruise Anti-Ship Weapon programme is moving towards its Full Business Case approval in 2026 where the Key User Requirements will be formally set. The programme continues to assess how best it can meet and exceed user requirements which stretch well beyond current requirements and capabilities to meet future threat needs.
