Multi-mssn Maritime Aircraft (MMA) (P-8A)
Abstract
The P-8A Multi-mission Maritime Aircraft (MMA) will replace the aging P-3 aircraft. The P-8A program was initiated in response to the Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) validated Mission Needs Statement (MNS), "Broad Area Maritime and Littoral Armed Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance" and the requirements for the program are defined in the MMA Operational Requirements Document (ORD)/ Capability Development Document (CDD), validated and approved by JROC on 08 December 2003. The P-8A program received Milestone 0 approval to proceed into Concept Exploration (CE) on 22 March 2000. Concept exploration activities began in June 2000 under Program Element 0702207N Project Unit W2737. Approval to enter Component Advanced Development (CAD) was attained from the Overarching Integrated Product Team on 18 January 2002 and the Milestone Decision Authority, Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics (USD(AT&L)), approved the program Acquisition Strategy on 8 February 2002. Approval to enter System Development and Demonstration (SDD) was attained at the Defense Acquisition Board (DAB) on 28 May 2004. Approval was granted to award the SDD contract at the DAB. The contract was awarded to Boeing on 14 June 2004. A successful Critical Design Review (CDR) was completed in June 2007. In August 2007 the Design Readiness Review (DRR) was conducted and resulted in approval to obligate funding for the fabrication of the Stage II flight test aircraft. The Interim Program Review (IPR) was completed on 7 April 2009 based on release of Acquisition Decision Memorandum. The first flight of P-8A occurred on 25 Apr 2009. The primary objectives of SDD are to: perform the system detailed design, develop and produce Systems Integration Labs, develop and build ground and flight test articles and prepare for Milestone C. Six flight test aircraft will be built during SDD. These test aircraft will be grouped into two stages based on which phase of the test program the aircraft will support. SDD Stage I flight test aircraft (FY06/Qty-3) will support integrated Test and Evaluation (IT&E). This was previously called combined Developmental/Operational Testing (DT/OT). SDD Stage II flight test aircraft (FY09/Qty-3) will support the completion of IT&E and Initial Operational Test and Evaluation (IOT&E) after being updated to the production configuration. The SDD contract includes the development and initial builds of training devices to support IOT&E. The scope of SDD includes activities necessary to facilitate an efficient transition of the fleet to achieve the P-8A Initial Operational Capability (IOC) of Increment 1 in CY13. P-8A plans to enter Production and Deployment (PD) in the 3rd quarter of FY10 after completing the Milestone C DAB. P-8A program is based on an evolutionary acquisition strategy consisting of sequential incremental enhancements to system capabilities that will retain cost-wise effectiveness for winning major combat operations through 2020. The Increment 2 Integration effort will allow the P-8A to keep pace with the threat. In order to pace the threat, this will incorporate the following capabilities into the P-8A: Advanced Extended Echo Ranging, Automatic Identification System, Aircraft Rapid Commercial-Off-The-Shelf Insertion (ARCI), Integrated Broadcast Services, and updates to the Tactical Operations Center (TOC) as well as additional Anti-Submarine (ASW) and Anti-Surface Warfare (ASuW) capabilities necessary to reduce the gap between the evolved legacy P-3C and P-8A systems. These capabilities and other emergent capability requirements, such as the High Altitude Anti-Submarine Warfare (HAASW) capability, will be investigated during the Technology Development phase of Increment 2. The scope of this effort includes the integration, design, and test of the capability enhancements to the P-8A and associated TOC ground support facilities and initial trainers. Integration of these capabilities will be accomplished incrementally, based on the scope of the integration effort. Fleet introduction is planned to be completed in FY16. As part of the P-8A evolutionary strategy, Increment 3 will focus on attaining cost wise effectiveness for winning major combat operations through FY2023. In order to pace the threat, Increment 3 may include the following capabilities: Net-Ready KPP compliance, High Altitude ASW, integration of future ASuW weapon survivability upgrades, precision targeting improvements to radar, ARCI capabilities, as well as additional ASW and ASuW capabilities required to reduce the gap between the evolved legacy P-3C and P-8A systems. These capabilities and other emergent capability requirements will be investigated during the Techology Development phase of Increment 3 for the P-8A and TOC. Increment 3 will capitalize on existing planned P-8A DABs to serve as decision points for entering furture phases of work. This Program Element includes $1.000 million for the Defense Acquisition Work Force Development Fund (DAWDF) in FY09.

- Change Summary Explanation
- Technical: Not applicable. Schedule: Project 2696: The schedule reflects the following changes: Changed DT/OT to IT&E, corrected IOT&E to reflect APB objective values for start and completion. Project 3181: The following schedule change due to budget adjustments: MS-B changed from 3Q FY10 to 3Q FY11. Project 3218: The schedule for Increment 3 is now displayed. FY11 from previous President's Budget is shown as zero because no FY11-15 data was presented in President's Budget 2010.
