P-8A Spiral 2 Development

Abstract

The P-8A Multi-mission Maritime Aircraft (MMA) program is based on an evolutionary acquisition strategy consisting of sequential increments that will retain cost-wise effectiveness for winning major combat operations through 2020. In order to pace the threat, Increment 3 may include the following capabilities: Net-Ready Key Performance Parameters (KPP) implementation, integration of a network enabled Anti-Surface Warfare (ASuW) weapon, Survivability Upgrades, Precision Targeting improvements, and Aircraft Rapid Commercial-Off-The-Shelf Insertion (ARCI) Capabilities, as well as additional Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW), ASuW and Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities. These capabilities and other emergent capability requirements will be investigated during the Technology Development phase of Increment 3 for the P-8A and Tactical Operations Center (TOC)(ground support facility).
