I believe L3 or raytheon will be in the running for a new suite if the current one fails.<br />In any case it P8 deal was a shock for lockmart looking to peddle an upgraded a turboprop on the upgraded orion. Its a shocker that they selected a jet because world over turboprops are the preferred choice due to loiter time vs sea-level interdiction as well as the four engines reliability over seaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-51685716959755943972014-01-27T00:43:23.306-08:002014-01-27T00:43:23.306-08:00Anon 9:34,

The American P8 have inherently deleted a very important piece of equipment that is the MAD array which the Indian navy has kept. reason is the higher patrol speed of the platform makes it unsuited for sea level ASW work. they have instead tried to rely on a sensor fusion mix with a hydrocarbon sensor as the primary detection capability. Lessons to be learnt here are dedicated platforms are expensive but preferable for specialized tasks aka f35 m0mentAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-64506774294455240062014-01-26T11:40:57.474-08:002014-01-26T11:40:57.474-08:00Scary & dis hearteningScary & dis hearteningAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18186858317344759128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-31313501752288125932014-01-26T09:59:36.243-08:002014-01-26T09:59:36.243-08:00After the devyani incident of stripping.
