Dear Ministry of Defence,

I would like to request the release, as of general public interest, of a list of procurement costs with respect to the Clansman radio system.

Of interest is the cost/price per unit, at initial roll-out in the early 1980s, of the manpack and vehicle radio equipments designated PRC-320; PRC-349; PRC-344; PRC-350; PRC-351/2; VRC-321; VRC-353; and PRC-319.

also of interest in the unit cost at initial roll-out of major ancillaries, including but not limited to - 5.4m Mast; GSA antenna; EKGSA adapter; HF wire antenna kit; Wideband Elevated VHF antenna; VHF Inverted V antenna, plus associated connection and control boxes, audio equipment etc.

These unit costs may be accounted at 1980s sterling values, without correction or conversion to current price equivalents.

Yours faithfully,

Martin Barfield
