answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/09/2017 answer text <p>Initial Operating Capability for Watchkeeper was met in August 2014 and it was then deployed on operations in Afghanistan. Watchkeeper is a first-of-type capability for Defence and therefore the programme has evolved as regulatory and technical requirements for both aircraft and pilots have been fully understood.</p><p>Two incidents involving Watchkeeper aircraft earlier this year also resulted in a temporary pause in flying which inevitably had an impact on the programme. Full operating capability is currently forecast to be achieved in 2018.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 20/09/2017 15:32:32 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
