UK military to spend £364 million on radio system
The UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) has awarded two five-year contracts to General Dynamics UK to provide design, engineering and logistic support for the Bowman radio system that is used by personnel across the Army, Royal Navy and Royal Air Force.
Bowman radios enable personnel on land, at sea and in the air to communicate on operations around the world. The radios use an encrypted frequency to share intelligence and increase situational awareness and have seen extensive service in Afghanistan by troops on patrol, on Royal Navy ships during relief efforts in the Philippines and by the Royal Air Force when providing air support to land operations.
The £364 million contract will see improved management of the radios and repair services. It will also enable competition within the supply chain to be opened up, which is expected to deliver better value for money for the taxpayer.
