answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/02/2020 answer text <p>The P-8 Poseidon joins an integrated UK force of ships, submarines and helicopters in the anti-submarine warfare role. Poseidon's introduction marks a significant upgrade in the UK's ability to conduct anti-submarine operations, combined with a weapons system to counter these threats. The Poseidon is designed to conduct long range patrols providing extended surveillance missions at high and low altitudes. It is equipped with cutting-edge sensors which use high-resolution area mapping to find both submarines and surface vessels. It will also integrate seamlessly with our NATO allies. This will maintain operational freedom for our own submarines and apply pressure to those of our potential foes.</p> answering member constituency Wells answering member printed James Heappey question first answered 12/02/2020 14:02:29 answering member 4528 label Biography information for James Heappey

uin	12862
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/02/2020 answer text <p>The RAF P-8A Poseidon aircraft is being delivered in the same configuration as that operated by the US Navy. This was an important consideration in the investment decision for the project as it delivers economies of scale from being part of a larger programme and helps ensure interoperability with close allies. Consequently, RAF aircraft will be equipped with the same Mk 54 torpedoes and range of sonobuoys as US Navy aircraft. These are not manufactured by UK-based companies.</p> answering member constituency Wells answering member printed James Heappey grouped question UIN 12863 question first answered 10/02/2020 15:35:38 answering member 4528 label Biography information for James Heappey
