Defence written question – answered at on 6 December 2006.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what effect he expects the purchase of Vector and Cougar armoured vehicles to have on procurement of the Future Rapid Effect System project; and if he will make a statement.
holding answer
The purchase of the Vector and Cougar armoured vehicles will have no direct effect on the Future Rapid Effect System programme. Vector and Cougar are light armoured vehicles that have been purchased to meet an urgent requirement on current operations.
FRES will deliver a fleet of medium-weight wheeled and tracked armoured vehicles with higher levels of strategic deployability, survivability and lethality than lighter armoured vehicles can provide.
