According to the Agency for Defense Development (ADD), development of this project began in the fourth quarter of last year, with the Basic Design Review (PDR) soon to be completed, followed by the Detailed Design Review (CDR). After the interceptor drone completes its flight, expected in the fall of this year, interception tests with an actual UAV are planned to be conducted by the second half of next year. The interception test will also include targeting a small UAV.

While it’s important for politicians to think hard about the high levels of risk posed to the UK by Russian stand-off missile attacks, we should also remember that there are very significant differences between the threat geography we face, and those in Israel or forward bases in Eastern Europe.
