Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to his Department's press release entitled New British Army robotic mine plough aims to better shield soldiers from danger, published on 10 April 2025, how many remote-controlled mine plough systems has he ordered since 10 April 2025.

The WEEVIL prototype currently uses the Warrior Infantry Fighting Vehicle, fitted with a full-width mine plough, advanced remote-control system, and vehicle-mounted cameras. Project Atilla is the Army's term for the delivery of the WEEVIL capability. Whilst Project Atilla is currently in its concept phase, it is expected to have an in-service date of 2032.

Since April 2025, one Warrior platform has been adapted with the WEEVIL capability. The Army is considering adapting further Warrior vehicles with the WEEVIL capability in the near future.
