Boeing P-8 Poseidon

The Boeing P-8 Poseidon (formerly the Multimission Maritime Aircraft or MMA) is a military

aircraft developed for the United States Navy (USN). The aircraft has been developed by

Boeing Defense, Space & Security, modified from the 737-800ERX. The P-8 conducts

anti-submarine warfare (ASW), anti-surface warfare (ASUW), and shipping interdiction,

along with an early warning self-protection (EWSP) ability, otherwise known as electronic

support measures (ESM). This involves carrying torpedoes, depth charges, Harpoon antiship

missiles, and other weapons. It is able to drop and monitor sonobuoys. It is designed

to operate in conjunction with the Northrop Grumman MQ-4C Triton Broad Area Maritime

Surveillance unmanned aerial vehicle.

The P-8 is operated by the U.S. Navy, the Indian Navy (as the P-8I Neptune), and the Royal

Australian Air Force (RAAF). The aircraft has been ordered by the UK’s Royal Air Force

(RAF), and the Royal Norwegian Air Force (RNoAF).
