To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, when he expects Gravehawk to reach minimum deployable capability.
Luke Pollard
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Defence
Gravehawk is a bespoke air defence system rapidly developed for the Armed Forces of Ukraine and jointly funded by the United Kingdom and Denmark.
Following testing last autumn, Gravehawk has now reached minimum deployable capability. Two prototypes have been handed over to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and it will be an operational decision for them when to deploy this capability.
