As he will know the long-term replacement for Stormer is under consideration as part of the Heavy Protected Mobility (PM) sub-programme, within the Land Mobility Programme.

The Heavy PM sub-programme is in its concept phase and is currently evaluating the Finnish led Common Armoured Vehicles System (CAVS) Programme’s suitability in meeting the UK’s Heavy PM requirements.
