answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/10/2022 answer text <p>Our surveillance comprises of a Control and Reporting Centre (CRC) at RAF Boulmer Northumberland and seven Remote Radar Heads (RRH) housing the RAF Air Defence radars. The CRC combines and actions the feeds from the radars on air activity required to defend the UK and NATO partners, whilst exchanging information with neighbouring NATO partners, Airborne Early Warning aircraft and ships. The locations of the Air Defence radars are:</p><p>RRH Benbecula, Outer Hebrides</p><p>RRH Saxa Vord, Shetland Islands</p><p>RRH Buchan, Aberdeenshire</p><p>RRH Brizlee Wood, Northumberland</p><p>RRH Staxton Wold, North Yorkshire</p><p>RRH Trimingham, Norfolk</p><p>RRH Portreath, Cornwall</p><p>The yearly running costs of each Remote Radar Head are not held centrally and could only be provided at disproportionate cost. This is due to the radar maintenance, and separate radome and site maintenance required at each site being subject to differing multi-year contracts which cover multiple sites. Consequently, costs cannot be broken down or attributed on a per site basis.</p> answering member constituency Elmet and Rothwell answering member printed Alec Shelbrooke question first answered 17/10/2022 13:27:56 answering member 3997 label Biography information for Sir Alec Shelbrooke

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 17 May 2018 to Question 143866 on Defence: Radar, what the differences were between the procurement of the three Lockheed Martin long range air defence TPS-77 radars and the procurement of a replacement deployable long-range air defence radar in relation to compliance with EU procurement regulations.
tabling member constituency	Portsmouth South
tabling member printed	Stephen Morgan
uin	169803
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2018 answer text <p>The TPS 77 Radars were funded by wind farm developers, who proposed them as the only globally available Air Defence Radar that had proven wind farm mitigation capabilities. The Ministry of Defence (MOD) therefore followed a Single Source Procurement process. Other radar manufacturers now claim to be able to provide this capability and the MOD is following a Competitive Procurement Process for the Deployable Radar Project. There is no difference between the two procurements in terms of compliance as both adhere to EU procurement regulations.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 11/09/2018 15:04:18 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/06/2018 answer text <p>It is not possible to provide a breakdown or comparison of support costs for each individual radar. This is because each support contract is negotiated on an individual basis, taking account of varying factors; such as the number and age of the radar systems, their location, the scope of support provided, and the length of the contract.</p> answering member constituency Aberconwy answering member printed Guto Bebb question first answered 20/06/2018 15:01:00 answering member 3910 label Biography information for Guto Bebb
