Conclusion
An example of new funding for more established programmes is the new radar for the Typhoon. Although it had been in development for several years before the decision to buy it was announced in 2015, the Department did not include the cost in recent Plans as it was not affordable.19 The Department told us that the Spending Review settlement allowed it to fund the programme, and since we took evidence has written to us to report that by the end of February 2022 it had spent £701 million on its development.20 But it does not expect the radar to enter service until 2030.21
