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 beyond 2020. In order to pace the threat, Spiral 2 (Increment 3) will incorporate improvements in aircraft systems, such as Architecture Upgrades, Net-Ready Key Performance Parameters (KPP) implementation, integration of a network enabled Anti-Surface Warfare (ASuW) weapon, Survivability Upgrades, Precision Targeting improvements, and Rapid Capabilities Insertion (RCI), 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 Pre-Engineering Manufacturing Development phase of Spiral 2 (Increment 3) for the P-8A and Tactical Operations Center (TOC)(ground support facility). Acquisition Decision Memorandum, dated 18 October 2013, approved Pre-Engineering Development activities leading up to MS-B.
