In Defence Questions today, Richard highlighted to the Minister the importance of the continued delivery of the Warrior Capability Sustainment Programme to Lockheed Martin, an important local defence company in Bedfordshire and its employees and supply chain.
The Warrior Capability Sustainment Programme forms part of the British Army’s Armoured Infantry 2026 Programme, delivering an enhanced and upgraded Armoured Infantry capability, which will keep the vehicles in service beyond 2040. The project will improve Warrior’s effectiveness through the integration of a fully stabilised turret, incorporating the CTAi 40mm cannon, and an upgraded Thermal Imaging primary sight.
In his answer, the Minister recognised the important contribution Bedfordshire makes to defence.
