§ Mr. MacdonaldTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether ZB298 mortar locating radar and artillery sound ranging equipment has been made available to the British forces in Bosnia; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Archie HamiltonThe ZB298 was a ground surveillance radar and did not have a mortar locating capability; it is no longer in service with the British Army. Mortar locating radars and artillery sound ranging equipment have not been deployed to Bosnia. Given the terrain and mobile nature of the tasks undertaken by UNPROFOR troops, such equipment would be of negligible utility.
