Read MoreHide Full Article
The Boeing Company(BA - Free Report) recently clinched a deal to supply 16 P-8A Poseidon aircraft to the Royal Canadian Air Force as part of the Canadian Multi-Mission Aircraft (“CMMA”) project. The agreement makes Canada the fifth NATO nation and the ninth defense partner to choose the P-8 as its versatile multi-mission aircraft.
This aircraft possesses all the capabilities to meet the CMMA’s requirements and ensures cost-effective life-cycle sustainment, thus leading to such a strong order inflow for Boeing, involving the aircraft.
Significance of the P-8A PoseidonAircraft
Boeing’s P-8 is truly a multi-mission maritime patrol aircraft, excelling at anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance and search and rescue.
The P-8 can fly higher and get to the fight faster. Its shorter transit times reduce the size of the area of probability when searching for submarines, surface vessels or search and rescue survivors. P-8 is also designed for low-altitude missions and has already proven its abilities to support humanitarian and search and rescue missions.
Due to such remarkable features, the company enjoys strong demand for the aircraft. This jet’s demand strength can be gauged from the company having delivered 160 aircraft to date.
Given the aircraft’s integration into the defense portfolios of numerous countries and the potential to join many others, Boeing is likely to experience steady demand for this military aircraft.
