UK Defence Equipment Plan notes issues with major C4I programmes

by Olivia Savage

The UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) has released its Defence Equipment Plan 2021, revealing key updates on Project ‘Morpheus' and the New Style of IT (Deployed) (NSoIT) programme.

The report notes the challenges surrounding ‘Morpheus', the British Army's command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence (C4I) programme to develop the next generation of tactical communications. According to the report, ‘Morpheus' “has fallen behind schedule and is subject to a contract renegotiation. The current in-service system, BCIP 5.6 [Bowman tactical communication] will be sustained for up to a further 5 years, extending its out-of-service date to 2030–31”.
