Boeing offers mediumsized maritime surveillance aircraft

Issue No. 14 | July 16-31, 2012

Boeing has announced that it is offering a medium-sized maritime surveillance aircraft (MSA) to the global market. MSA builds on technologies developed for Boeing’s larger intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) platforms to provide a highly capable, low-risk and cost-effective ISR solution.

“The Boeing maritime surveillance aircraft directly applies advanced, proven and fielded capabilities from our P-8, airborne warning and control system, and airborne early warning and control programmes to solve our international customers’ maritime surveillance challenges,” said Tim Peters, Boeing Vice President and General Manager, Surveillance and Engagement. “We’ve selected a preferred aircraft and are in discussions with a manufacturer about supplying and modifying their aircraft. We hope to have an announcement on that element by the end of this year.”
