Mr. Critchley
asked the Secretary of State for Defence what plans he has to introduce a helicopter-borne anti-tank missile into BAOR.
Dr. Gilbert
A helicopter-borne antitank guided missile, the SS 11, has been in service in BAOR on the SCOUT helicopter since 1971. An evaluation of the Franco-German HOT and the American TOW missiles as the armament for the SCOUTS's successor, the LYNX, is now under way. It is expected that a decision will be made next year.
