	tabling member printed	Lord Moonie
	uin	HL2296
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/11/2014 answer text <p>The Scout vehicle was chosen by the Army after an extensive assessment period and a competitive process which examined a number of different vehicle options. Scout was selected because it delivered the optimum value for money and the overall balance of capability required to provide a genuine multi-role platform for the Army against a demanding set of requirements. Scout is a fully digitised armoured vehicle which will deliver a step change in versatility and agility for the Army. Scout will be able to conduct both close combat and reconnaissance tasks and will be equipped with a sensor suite and sighting system that will double the range at which all types of target can be detected from the ground, providing a genuine force multiplier to the Army.</p> answering member printed Lord Astor of Hever question first answered 04/11/2014 17:32:46 answering member 3428 label Biography information for Lord Astor of Hever
