P-8 Improvements
Abstract
The P-8A Multi-mission Maritime Aircraft (MMA) program is based on an evolutionary acquisition strategy including a sequence of Rapid Capability Insertions (RCI) that will retain cost-wise effectiveness for winning major combat operations beyond 2020. In order to pace the threat, RCIs will incorporate incremental software and hardware improvements to existing sensors, communications systems and weapons capabilities to build on the P-8A Spiral 2 (Increment 3) Applications Based Architecture (ABA) and capability baseline. These capabilities, and other emergent capability requirements, will be prioritized through the Navy Integration and Interoperability (I&I)-aligned Capability Prioritization Process (CPP) and P-8A Tier 3 Capability Roadmap. The CPP process will be supported by detailed analysis and the maturation of developing technologies.
