During the stopover, Northrop Grumman employees had the
opportunity to view the P-8A and take a tour of the cockpit and
crew areas of the aircraft. Northrop Grumman produces the
AN/ALQ-240(V)1 Electronic Support Measures system, the early
warning self-protection system and the embedded global positioning
system/inertial navigation system for the P-8A.
"We extend our gratitude to the Navy for bringing the P-8A
aircraft to our facility, allowing the employees who develop these
systems an up-close look at the results of their labor," said Paul
B. Kalafos, vice president of Northrop Grumman's Surveillance
Systems business unit. "In partnership with Boeing, Northrop
Grumman has successfully developed and delivered to the Navy an
affordable mission system solution that will extend well into the
future of the P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft."
The AN/ALQ-240(V)1 Electronic Support Measures system will
provide a significant increase in capability for operations in the
complex maritime battlespace, which will allow P-8A aircrews to
detect and identify radar and other electronic threats to the
aircraft and Navy vessels.
To date, five low rate initial production P-8As have been
delivered to the Navy. Initial operational capability is scheduled
for later this year.
