answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/05/2024 answer text <p>The Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers (QEC) were built to allow for capability changes over the lifetime of these ships. The Royal Navy is committed to developing capabilities that will allow it to build combat mass, whilst remaining at the forefront of technology, and this includes a strong focus on uncrewed air systems. As such, the aviation capabilities of the QEC aircraft carriers will continue to evolve in the coming years and the operation of a wider variety of aircraft is being considered as part of a detailed analysis to scope and assess options. The launch and recovery systems for these new capabilities is currently under review, following the recent successful trials of Mojave and Windracer.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Suffolk answering member printed James Cartlidge question first answered 20/05/2024 15:44:18 answering member 4519 label Biography information for James Cartlidge
