Paris 2011: P-8 Production Advances; JSTARS Replacement Eyed
The P-8 Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft rep

The P-8 Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft represents both a present and future market opportunity for Boeing Military Aircraft.

As the last of six P-8 test aircraft, a production representative model, advanced through mission systems installation earlier this month at Boeing Field in Seattle, the company outlined potential new applications for the 737-based platform. One is the P-8 airborne ground surveillance (AGS) variant, proposed as a replacement for the aging U.S. Air Force fleet of E-8C joint surveillance target attack radar system (JSTARS) aircraft.
