P-8A Spiral One Development

Abstract

The P-8A Multi-mission Maritime Aircraft (MMA) 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. In order to pace the threat, Increment 2, the Next Phase of Capabilities (NPC-1), will incorporate the following capabilities into the P-8A: Multi-Static Active Coherent (MAC), Automatic Identification System, Aircraft Rapid Commercial-Off-The-Shelf Insertion (ARCI), updates to the Tactical Operations Center (TOC), as well as additional Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW), Anti-Surface Warfare (ASuW) and Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities. Program will be executed as an Engineering Change Proposal to the baseline program at the Milestone C Decision.
