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 beyond 2020. In order to pace the threat, Spiral One (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 (AIS), Rapid Capabilities Insertion (RCI), 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. Spiral One (Increment 2) will be executed as an Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) to the baseline program.
