Boeing's $61 million deal transforms the P-8A Poseidon from a patrol aircraft into an attack aircraft with high-altitude torpedoes.
Boeing's new $61.2 million contract for the supply of additional High Altitude Anti-Submarine Warfare Weapon Capability (HAAWC) modules marks a significant expansion of the U.S. Navy's long-range anti-submarine warfare capability. The contract is based on a multi-year agreement designed to keep the Navy's fleet of P-8A Poseidon patrol aircraft at the forefront of underwater threat detection and neutralization. By expanding the target area of enemy submarines, this step highlights a fundamental shift towards more survivable and permanent operations at sea. As underwater threats become more complex, such improvements are crucial to maintaining maritime dominance.
