ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ

The ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ P-8 Poseidon is a multi-mission maritime patrol aircraft excelling at anti-submarine warfare; anti-surface warfare; intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; and search and rescue. In operation worldwide, the P-8 redefines the standards of aerial defense and rescue operations in every mission it undertakes.

Unmatched Performance

The P-8 can fly up to 41,000 feet with a maximum speed of 490 knots. With its ability to operate at low altitudes, the P-8 has also proven invaluable in humanitarian missions and search and rescue operations, showcasing its versatility.

Proven Track Record

A proven system with 170 aircraft delivered or in service, the P-8 has logged more than 660,000 flight hours around the globe. Each P-8 is engineered for 25 years of service and 25,000 flight hours in the harshest maritime flight regimes, including extended operations in icing environments.

Advanced Technology and Cost Efficiency

The P-8 combines the most advanced weapon system of its kind and a cutting-edge mission system that ensures maximum interoperability in the battlespace. By sharing 86% commonality with the 737 Next Generation and ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ’s expertise in commercial fleet management and derivative aircraft sustainment, the P-8 provides customers with greater availability at a lower operational cost.

Open Mission Systems Architecture

The P-8’s open architecture mission systems mean rapid, affordable technology insertion for decades of mission readiness. The Increment 3 Block 2 upgrade – currently being installed on operational U.S. Navy P-8s to significantly upgrade the airframe and avionics system – is one example of technology insertion to keep pace with emerging threats.

Global Reach

The P-8 has two variants: The P-8A Poseidon, flown by the U.S. Navy, the United Kingdom’s Royal Air Force, the Royal Australian Air Force, the Royal Norwegian Air Force, the Royal New Zealand Air Force and the Republic of Korea Navy, and the P-8I, flown by the Indian Navy. Other militaries, including the German Navy and the Royal Canadian Air Force, have also chosen the P-8, further solidifying its reputation as a global leader in maritime patrol.
