	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/06/2019 answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence has concluded phase one of the radar review following internal and external engagement. This has helped us develop our understanding of the factors we will need to consider in the future development of Radar capability post 2030. We are considering how we take this review forward, which will be informed by the forthcoming Defence Science Expert Committee RF sensing report.

However, this needs to be balanced with its requirements to protect the UK and its airspace. MOD officials have regular liaison with representatives of the offshore wind sector on this matter, particularly through the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) Aviation Management Board meetings. Where appropriate we will continue to liaise across the industry sector and wider Government, including BEIS and the Department for Transport.</p><p>The MOD is undertaking further analysis to consider the strategic objectives and understand any risks with our current and future military radar capabilities. We aim to conclude the first 'understand' phase in the spring which will set the scope, structure and timelines for any further phases of work that may be required. However, a way ahead in the immediate future is challenging and requires upgraded or new technologies, which are not currently part of the equipment programme.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood grouped question UIN 222042 question first answered 20/02/2019 15:58:17 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
