Verfasst: Mi 23. Okt 2024, 17:19
The Trinity House Agreement includes:
- New long-range strike weapons – working jointly to rapidly develop a new system that can fire even further and be more precise in its targeting than any current system.
- New boost for British industry – a new large calibre gun manufacturing facility in the UK, supporting more than 400 jobs, and planned to use British steel, bringing nearly half a billion-pound economic boost to the UK over 10 years.
- New cooperation to strengthen the Eastern Flank - the armies training and exercising more together, using the front as a catalyst for developing new ways of fighting.
- Land Industrial Cooperation - cooperation on Boxer armed vehicles and kickstarting collaboration of land-based drones.
- Protecting critical underwater infrastructure – working together to protect the vital cables in the seabed on the North Sea. This includes exploring new offboard undersea surveillance capabilities to improve detection of adversary activity.
- German planes in Scotland - German P8 aircraft will periodically operate out of Lossiemouth to help protect the North Atlantic.
- New drones – working towards drones that could operate alongside our fighter jets, as well as drones that can be used by other military force.
- Exploration and development of new Maritime Uncrewed Air System capabilities.
- New Ukraine support – new joint work to enable German Sea King helicopters to be armed with modern missile systems as well as work on capability coalitions.
- Joint work with partners to integrate air defence systems to better protect European air space against the threat of long-range missiles, building on work agreed at the NATO Defence Ministers meeting just last week.
