	Boeing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In April 1994, Boeing introduced its most modern commercial jet aircraft, the twin-engine 777, with a seating capacity of between 300 and 400 passengers in a standard three class layout, in between the 767 and the 747.
		The longest range twin-engined aircraft in the world, the 777 was the first Boeing airliner to feature a "fly-by-wire" system and was conceived in response to the inroads being made by the European Airbus into Boeing’s traditional market.
		This aircraft, commonly known as the “Triple Seven,” reached an important milestone by being the first airliner to be designed entirely by using CAD techniques.

	P-8 Multimission Maritime Aircraft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The P-8A Multimission Maritime Aircraft (MMA) is intended to search for and destroy submarines, conduct shipping interdiction, and also possibly engage in an electronic intelligence (ELINT) role.
		The MMA will be based upon the a similar but larger airframe as the C-40 Clipper and T-43; it is the first militarized variant of the -800 series 737.
		Italy has been strongly tipped for a purchase of a total of 14 Wedgetail and MMA aircraft, with fleet support provided by Alitalia.

		The P-8A Multimission Maritime Aircraft (MMA) is intended to search for and destroy submarines, conduct shipping interdiction, and also possibly engage in an ELINT role.
		The aircraft is designated P-8, which is the next in series from the aborted P-7 project.
		Aviation Week and Space Technology stated in their June 21, 2004 issue that Italy has been strongly tipped for a purchase of a total of 14 Wedgetail and MMA aircraft, with fleet support provided by Alitalia.

		While the Army was fully committed, the Navy never did, and may instead opt for a modified version of the P-8 Multimission Maritime Aircraft.
		Boeing is pitching a modified version of the P-8 Multimission Maritime Aircraft to fill the ACS role.

		Two hundred and fifty one MMA aircraft were originally envisioned, with the first squadron to have been operational by 2014.
		The MMA variant to have replaced the EP-3E was scrubbed recently, with that requirement tentatively being moved to smaller aircraft similar to the US Army’s Guardrail follow-on, and indeed, the SIGINT function now performed by the EP-3E will now be transitioned to a similar new Navy airplane or even performed by US Army aircraft.
		Boeing has taken its multimission maritime concept aircraft on the road to generate support from the US Navy for what could be a $ 2 billion + contract to replace the P-3C.

	Boeing Polishes 737 Design For EP-3 Replacement
		Moreover, the airframe builder believes the new airplane (a derivative of the P-8A multimission maritime aircraft) could appeal across service lines, perhaps to the U.S. Air Force, which some Pentagon critics contend is not focusing on keeping its lead in state-of-the-art intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) systems.
		MMA is to make its first flight in 2009 and have its first operational unit in 2013.
		The only significant change to the sigint version of the MMA design will be the addition of a small canoe under the present site of the aft weapons bay to house a series of rotating sigint antennas under a single protective dome.

	P-8 Multimission Maritime Aircraft (MMA)
		MMA offers a modern, highly reliable airframe that will be equipped with improved maritime surveillance and attack capability, allowing a smaller force to provide worldwide responsiveness while potentially on a smaller support infrastructure.
		As of mid-2004 the fleet of P-3 aircraft was 196 aircraft.
		MMA is quickly becoming known as one of the cornerstones of HCS.

		Four more aircraft, not included in the SDD award, would be built for testing and evaluation purposes, followed by 108 operational MMAs.
		The MMA is to carry out anti-submarine and anti-surface missions as well as surveillance and reconnaissance missions, and will be operated with unmanned aerial vehicles and satellite-based systems.
		The MMA originally was intended also to replace the EP-3E Aries electronic warfare and reconnaissance aircraft, but that requirement has been dropped.

		Boeing and Lockheed Martin--competitors for the Multimission Maritime Aircraft (MMA) program--are refining their proposals for the selection decision, which is expected in January 2004.
		Boeing is refining its MMA proposal for a design based on the Boeing 737 airliner, but has upgraded its entry from the 737-700 design--which would have the wings of the 737-800--to a 737-800 aircraft fitted with 737-900 wings.
		Boeing's MMA is designed to meet, among other requirements, the conduct of an antisubmarine mission with four hours on station at a radius of 1,200 miles.

		The number of Multimission Maritime Aircraft (MMA) the Navy would buy to replace more than 220 P-3s has dropped over time, most significantly when the service eliminated the EP-3's signals intelligence mission, although service officials were still considering 150 aircraft for maritime patrol.
		The move to two aircraft types--with both slated to have open systems architectures that should allow sensors to be replaced relatively easily--is driving a Navy decision to eventually disband its two special-purpose squadrons, VPU-1 and VPU-2.
		The aircraft are to start fielding in 2012, although service officials would consider using aircraft early with a more limited capability if the opportunity exists.

	SEA POWER: More Surveillance, Fewer Aircraft
		The MMA is designed to replace the Navy’s fleet of P-3C Orion four-engine patrol planes, many of which are more than 30 years old and approaching the end of their service lives.
		Hewitt notes that the MMA will be fitted with simulation software, enabling crews to conduct full-scale mission simulation in their aircraft while flying from one base to another.
		Boeing’s design is based on the company’s popular 737-800 twin-engine airliner, modified with a weapons bay, external hard points under the wings and fuselage, and a tail boom for a magnetic anomaly detector, a device sensor that indicates the presence of a submarine by sensing large ferrous metal objects under the water.

		The MMA project — ongoing now for several years — is officially to be the Navy’s answer to replacing the Lockheed Martin P-3C and EP-3E aircraft.
		There were to be two MMA variants: a Search and Attack (SA) aircraft to replace the P-3C and a Surveillance and Intel (SI) airplane to replace the EP-3E.
		Two hundred and fifty one MMA aircraft were originally envisioned, with the first squadron operational by 2014.

		Four more aircraft not included in the SDD award are to be built for testing and evaluation purposes.
		The MMA's GPS navigation system also will be the reference for the tactical system used in the back of the aircraft.

		As the Navy struggles to keep its maritime patrol capability alive while it draws down to a level of 148 P-3Cs, L-3 is a major participant in providing the service with the means of sustaining that capability until the MMA enters service.
		The company is working to drive down the modification time per aircraft from 220 to 230 days for the first aircraft to less than 140 days by the time the seventh aircraft rolls out of the facility.
		With the wait for the U.S. MMA decision over, foreign operators of P-3s now will be able to move ahead on decisions to refurbish their P-3s or replace them with new aircraft.

		Lockheed Martin Corp., Maritime Systems and Sensors, St. Paul, Minn., is being awarded a ceiling amount $56 million modification to a previously awarded indefinite-delivery/ indefinite-quantity contract (N00019-04-D-0082) to exercise an option for the procurement and installation of P-3C Anti-Surface Warfare Improvement Program (AIP) Kits required to convert P-3C UII.5 aircraft to the P-3 AIP configuration.
		The P-3C Orion fleet, which is due to be replaced by the P-8A Multi-mission Maritime Aircraft beginning around 2010, is receiving a wide range of upgrades and special maintenance in order to keep the planes effective and flying.
		These kinds of special inspections are required to keep these patrol aircraft flying safely, especially when their loiter time and surveillance capabilities are proving valuable in war theaters like Kosovo and Afghanistan, as well as their classic maritime patrol role.

		The P-8A MMA is the Navy’s replacement platform for the P-3C Orion, securing the Navy’s future in long-range maritime patrol.
		The new aircraft will dramatically improve anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities well into the 21st century.
		The aircraft will provide more combat capability with a smaller force and less infrastructure than the venerable P-3C Orion aircraft currently in service.
