Electronic Conspicuity in the UK

Can anybody help out with a bit of hopefully unclassified knowledge.

For a variety of reasons I'm taking an active interest in electronic conspicuity in the UK. There are multiple systems available, particularly in the GA community: FLARM, PilotAware, TPAS, and so-on and so forth. Recent UK Airprox Board reports have highlighted various proxes between UK light civil, and military aeroplanes - clearly stuff we'd all rather avoid.

Can anybody fill me in on what conspicuity systems (mode C, mode S, ADS-B, FLARM, etc.) are being carried on various military assets operating in UK airspace. Also - what traffic alerting systems is anybody carrying? I understand PowerFLARM on the G115 and Tucano fleets?, presumably TCAS on the Globemaster & Herc (but I'm assuming that, rather than know). Is anything else out there?

Or if nobody feels they can say on here - a steer as who I can ask officially would be great.
