Mr. Gray

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence when the Active Off-Board Decoy System will become operational on Royal Navy warships. [50787]

The Active Off-Board Decoy System is expected to reach operational service in the Royal Navy from early 2004 once sufficient Active Decoy Rounds have been produced. It will be fitted to all major Royal Navy warships, improving their ability to counter anti-ship missiles.
