Its not NATO ACCS, we pulled out if that, it’s not a common NAEW replacement, we’re committed to E-7. It’s not a common fighter, we are committed to Tempest. We don’t have any MSAM or plans - currently - to buy any for the homeland defence, we already have CAMM as part of Sea Ceptor and Sky Sabre.
The system is going to be layered defence based on Arrow -> Patriot -> Iris-T / NASAMS. Whats in it for UK, who knows, maybe will allow them to integrated CAAM/ Sky Sabre into the NASAMS system
