The P-8 Poseidon multi-mission MPA, based on the Boeing 737-800 airliner, is entering service as a replacement for the USN’s fleet of P-3 Orions and is being targeted at other users of ageing P-3 aircraft. The first flight for the P-8 Poseidon was in April 2009, and in August the following year, LRIP was approved. Since full-rate production started in January 2014, more than 100 aircraft have been ordered by eight different
militaries.
