The UK Ministry of Defence’s (MoD’s) Morpheus tactical communications programme is suffering major delays after the contract with General Dynamics UK (GDUK) was cancelled in December 2023.

The contract, known as Evolve to Open Transition Partner (EvO TP), sought to transition the army’s existing tactical communications system, Bowman, into an open modular system called Morpheus. The company was awarded the GBP330 million (USD441 million) contract in April 2017.
