answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/07/2022 answer text <p>Project MOSQUITO was a Technology Demonstration Project designed to examine ways to achieve cost and time reductions in developing future uncrewed Combat Aircraft. This decision to curtail the contract with Spirit AeroSystems at the design phase has no impact on broader future work, including Carrier Enabled Power Projection. The learning accrued within the design phase of the project has a useful read across to other Research and Development projects as part of the wider LANCA and FCAS portfolio.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Horsham answering member printed Jeremy Quin question first answered 04/07/2022 14:04:54 answering member 4507 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Quin

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/07/2022 answer text <p>The original contract for the Project MOSQUITO Technical Demonstrator with Spirit AeroSystems was for £30 million. Of this amount, £9.58 million is expected to be spent at the point the contract is curtailed, by mutual agreement, at the design phase. Substantial valuable learning for both the Ministry of Defence and industry partners has been accrued that will be applied to benefit future work. A Technology Development Project that can recognise the change in operational environment and act with confidence to choose the optimum moment to terminate, exemplifies a 'learn fast' approach and financially responsible project management of publicly funded activity.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Horsham answering member printed Jeremy Quin question first answered 04/07/2022 11:22:02 answering member 4507 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Quin
