NIDAR Radar System

Volume 496: debated on Wednesday 9 September 2009

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how often he expects the NIDAR radar system on St. Kilda to be used in each of the next seven years. (290695)

We are unable to predict how often the I-Band NIDIR radar on St. Kilda will be used in each of the next seven years. They are, however, currently used infrequently and this usage will continue to decline as the majority of the current and planned weapons systems are equipped for G-Band radar tracking.
