32 National Security Strategy and Strategic Defence and Security Review •• Complex weapons, including Stormshadow and Brimstone missiles, which offer unrivalled precision. We will continue to invest further in new precision weapons to sustain our battle-winning capabilities. •• More than 20 new Protector armed remotely piloted aircraft, more than doubling the number of the Reaper aircraft which they replace. •• Upgraded aircraft to gather intelligence and detect and track targets, both on the ground and in the air. Sentinel will be extended in service into the next decade; Shadow until at least 2030; and Sentry and Rivet Joint until 2035. •• Nine new Boeing P8 Maritime Patrol Aircraft to increase further the protection of our nuclear deterrent and our new aircraft carriers. These aircraft will be based in Scotland and will also have an overland surveillance capability. •• A recapitalised air transport fleet to enable our Armed Forces to intervene globally at speed. By 2016, we will have 14 Voyager air-to-air refuelling aircraft. Our 22 new A400M Atlas heavy-lift aircraft will enhance our global reach, alongside our eight C17 aircraft. We will upgrade and extend the life of our C130J aircraft, allowing them to support a range of operations until 2030. •• A recapitalised Command Support Air Transport fleet to replace the current aircraft as they reach the end of their life. This will increase their operational utility and ensure we are able to continue to transport the Royal Family and senior Ministers costeffectively. We will also adapt one of our existing Voyager aircraft so that, as well as its primary air tanking role, it can transport senior Ministers securely, delivering better value for money than the current use of charter aircraft. The aircraft would also be available to the Royal Family. 4.50 We will invest in the next generation of combat aircraft technology, in partnership with our defence aerospace industry and our closest allies. We are working with the US to build and support the F35 Lightning. We will work with France to develop our Unmanned Combat Air System programme, and collaborate on complex weapons. Our people 4.51 Our Armed Forces rely on the skills, commitment and professionalism of our people. We place heavy demands on them. Recruiting, training and retaining the right mix of capable and motivated Service personnel is essential to deliver success on operations. We are committed to maintaining the size of the regular Armed Forces and to not reduce the regular Army below 82,000. 4.52 We will continue to develop the ‘Whole Force’ approach, ensuring that we use both Regular and Reserve members of the Armed Forces, and that we use MOD civil servants and contractors to support the front line, deploying forward when required. We will make it easier for people to move between the different elements of the ‘Whole Force’ over their career, and we will work collaboratively with industry to make skills available across organisational boundaries when and where needed. 4.53 We will ensure that a career in the Armed Forces can be balanced better with family life. We will make the changes necessary to enable our Armed Forces to work flexibly, reflecting the realities of modern life. We will make a new accommodation offer to help more Service personnel live in private accommodation and meet their aspirations for home ownership.
