<p>The lead times for replenishing missiles is typically between 18 and 36 months
depending on the munition type. Procurement costs are regularly reviewed and are dependent

be likely to prejudice the capability, effectiveness or security of the Armed Forces
and forecast cost estimates which are commercially sensitive.</p><p>The PGM 2000 missile
system is not a UK defence capability.</p>
