Dear Mr Moore,
Thank you for your email of 21 July, in which you requested the following information:
“In 2013, the ministry of defence and Joint Helicopter Command procured a wirestrike avoidance
and situational awareness system under AMMWAS Apache 062. I would like to know, by
squadron, the percentage of flights on which this system is currently used. If you do not have this
information, I would like to know, by squadron, which squadrons report using this system on the
majority of flights conducted.”
I am treating your correspondence as a request for information under the Freedom of Information
Act 2000.
I am writing to advise you that following a search of our recorded information, I have established
that the information you requested is not held by the Ministry of Defence, at the level of detail that
you require. I can advise you, however, that a survey concerning the usage of this system within
one of the Army Air Corps Regiments, was conducted in June 2017 and reported a usage rate of
some 60%.
If you have any queries regarding the content of this letter, please contact this office in the first
instance. Following this, if you wish to complain about the handling of your request, or the content
of this response, you can request an independent internal review by contacting the Information
Rights Compliance team, Ground Floor, MOD Main Building, Whitehall, SW1A 2HB (e-mail CIO-
xxxxxx@xxx.xx). Please note that any request for an internal review should be made within 40
working days of the date of this response.
If you remain dissatisfied following an internal review, you may raise your complaint directly to the
Information Commissioner under the provisions of Section 50 of the Freedom of Information Act.
Please note that the Information Commissioner will not normally investigate your case until the
MOD internal review process has been completed. The Information Commissioner can be
contacted at: Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire,
SK9 5AF. Further details of the role and powers of the Information Commissioner can be found on
the Commissioner's website at https://ico.org.uk/.
Yours sincerely,
Army Secretariat
