Defence Minister Maria Eagle has confirmed that the UK is actively engaged in discussions with European allies to develop joint weapon production initiatives, including through new and existing multinational frameworks.
Responding to a written parliamentary question from Liberal Democrat MP Edward Morello, the Minister of State for Defence stated that the Secretary of State for Defence “continues to discuss defence capability matters, including on joint production, procurement and future development, with a range of our European Allies on a regular basis.”
Eagle highlighted recent engagements in March, including bilateral talks with France in Paris on 11 March and a follow-up discussion on broader European industrial collaboration during the E5 defence ministers meeting on 12 March.
The UK is advancing several initiatives to drive multinational cooperation in defence manufacturing. “We continue to promote and encourage European Allies to co-design, co-develop and co-produce through a number of initiatives,” Eagle said, “including through UK-led Multinational Procurement Initiatives and DIAMOND.”
The DIAMOND programme – Defence Industrial Agile Manufacturing of Next-generation Ordnance and Novel Devices – aims to improve interoperability, production scalability, and joint development of weapons systems among like-minded partners.
This approach forms part of the UK’s wider effort to remain a key contributor to European defence capability outside of the EU framework, particularly as European nations seek to expand joint procurement and industrial cooperation in response to evolving security threats.

I think we now need to be seriouosy looking at a European GMLRS system using Galileo or One Web and possibly a PrSM style ballistic missile too. These weapons are now completely vital in modern warfare and so vulnerable to who ever is controlling GPS.
Beyond that we have almost every missile we need now and most of them like Meteor, Brimestone and Spear are best in class.
We do Jim, but, we need to be developing their replacements and upgrades to these systems.
My fear is France doesn’t play nicely with others and will simply move to replace US reliance with French reliance.
We need to go into any new developments with Europe, with ring fenced funding, totally equal work share and contractual time scales
We got shut out of the EU GPS system in spite of being key to it.
The future is quantum inertial navigation. At the moment dustbin sized but soon saucepan sized….who knows how long before it is on a chip?
I think it is more honest to admit we shut ourselves out of it.
Another BREXIT benefit…Not.

SwindonSteve, your name calling doesn’t make him wrong.
It’s fair to say getting shut out of a system that we paid about 15% of and provided most of the core tec was a real fuck up by conservative government..personally I would be playing very hard ball to get back access to it as part of any UK EU defence pact…infact I would call it one of the walk aways.
It is downright crazy, for the whole of Europe’s security to maintain the Galileo lockout of the UK, are we going to work together or not?

Yes but and this is important France is not the EU.. we need to be making it very clear to the EU nations as NATO falls apart..unless they start playing with an open and fair hand..50% of their nuclear deterrent, 60% of their SSNs, 70% of their carriers and about 80% of their world wide military infrastructure will just walk out the door… essentially almost all of the strategic enablers that will allow Europe to compete on the global stage, will just evaporate….
I don’t think that France sells these products to make a country dependent but rather to keep its industry alive and also France does not have the capacity to replace the USA and no one has it currently!
