Mr. Ernie Ross
asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he plans to introduce the airborne warning and control system; what purchases are planned for such a system; if he intends to purchase the German or the United States model; and what will be the cost.
Mr. Pattie
There are no plans for the United Kingdom to introduce the airborne warning and control system known as AWACS. Our contribution to the NATO airborne early warning force will be the Nimrod Mk 3 aircraft under development by British Aerospace and Marconi Avionics Ltd.
