The document mentions a long-range ground-based air and missile defence system for the United Kingdom. It places that capability in the 2030 to 2035 period rather than the current four-year programme. No near-term procurement or funding path is supplied in this passage. The system therefore remains a future ambition whose delivery depends on governments elected after the next general election.

Long-range ground air defence is deferred beyond the current plan
A promised long-range ground-based air and missile defence system appears only in the 2030 to 2035 horizon, without a current four-year funding path.
