What does Quicksink offer, and is Britain likely to obtain it?
Short answerBritain could buy or adapt the modified JDAM anti-ship weapon if it needs the capability, using its own rapid-procurement process.
NotesQuicksink can refer broadly to American rapid-development activity, so the decision depends on the specific weapon and operational need. Britain has its own rapid-procurement mechanisms rather than needing to copy the US program label. Once the question is clarified as a modified JDAM for attacking ships, the weapon becomes a straightforward candidate to purchase or adapt if available. Funding remains a government responsibility because ministers must reconcile the capability they order with the defense budget they authorize.
