P-8 Improvements
Abstract
The P-8A MMA program's Assured Maritime Dominance Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW), Anti-Surface Warfare (ASuW), and Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) activities include a sequence of Rapid Capability Insertions (RCI) and rapid development efforts to respond to evolving threats and adversary capabilities, which will retain cost effectiveness for winning major combat operations. In order to pace the threat, these efforts will incorporate incremental software and/or hardware improvements that increase/exceed the current performance envelope, to include reliability/maintainability improvements, obsolescence, periodic technology insertion, urgent operational needs, correction of deficiencies and flight safety issues, to existing sensor capabilities, communications systems, mission systems, airframe and engine component systems, weapons capabilities, training systems and Tactical Operations Center (TOC) /Tacmobile support to build on the P-8A capability baseline. These planned and emergent requirements will be prioritized through either the Navy Integration and interoperability (I&I) aligned Capability Prioritization Process (CPP), P-8A Tier 3 Capability Roadmap and/or through Fleet identification of an Urgent Operational Need. The CPP process is supported by detailed analysis and the maturations of developing technologies. Assured Maritime Dominance activities include principal mission lethality, survivability against kinetic and non-kinetic threats, and capability persistence in high-level threat environments. Rapid Development efforts increase lethality through optimization of kill-chain software systems, employment of LRASM, and other weapon systems and Airborne Weapon Simulator capabilities. RCI4 capabilities include kill-chain/gap analysis, ASW Enhancements, common weapons synchronization, and Airborne Weapon Simulator continuation. RCI5 capabilities increase P-8A survivability through Radio Frequency Counter Measure (RFCM)/Advanced Survivability Pod (ASP) Certification, P-8A Survivability Assurance and distributed sensor network improvements.
