ASW - Canada går for P-8A - DefenseMirror
Canada
to buy Boeing-made Poseidons in $5.9 billion deal
Nov 30, 08:30 PM
VICTORIA,
British Columbia — The Canadian military will start receiving in 2026
Boeing-made P-8A Poseidons it is buying through a deal worth $5.9 billion.
Canadian
cabinet ministers, including Defence Minister Bill Blair, made the official
announcement Thursday, but defense observers had long expected it after Canada
earlier this year requested from the U.S. pricing on the P-8.
Canada
will initially acquire 14 of the planes with the option to buy two additional
P-8s at a later date.
Blair
said the aircraft should be all delivered by the fall of 2027 and the fleet
fully operational by 2033.
The
P-8A will replace Canada’s current maritime patrol aircraft, the CP-140 Aurora,
which has been in service for more than 40 years.
Blair
said Thursday during a news conference in Ottawa that it has become
increasingly difficult for Canada’s military to maintain the CP-140 fleet
because of its age. “It has reached its limit,” Blair said.
He
noted the Boeing plane is a proven capability operated by Canada’s “Five Eyes”
allies: the United States, United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand. Blair
said Canada did not want to take a risk and look at aircraft now under
development.
There
will be additional spending on new infrastructure, weapons and simulators for
the P-8, he added.
Boeing
will be expected to provide investment in Canadian industry equivalent to the
value of the contract it is receiving, federal government officials said at a
background briefing.
The
Royal Canadian Air Force uses the CP-140 on operations around the world,
including for hunting submarines and detecting security threats such as illegal
fishing, drug trafficking, and polluters along the Canadian coastlines.
Blair
noted Canada’s newly acquired CC-330 Husky refueling aircraft fleet will be
able to refuel the P-8A.
He
told reporters the P-8s will come as Canada is facing increasing threats,
particularly in the Arctic. “We are seeing a more aggressive posture from our
potential adversaries such as Russia and China,” he added.
The
Canadian military had originally planned a competition starting in 2024 to
replace the CP-140 Auroras. Bids were to have been submitted in 2027. Both
Boeing, with its P-8, and Canadian firm Bombardier, with its special mission
Global 6500 aircraft, were interested in competing.
But
in a surprise move in March 2023, Canada requested pricing from the U.S.
government for a fleet of 16 P-8s. Public Services and Procurement Canada, the
federal contracting department, announced the P-8 was the only aircraft that
could meet Canada’s needs.
In
June, the State Department approved the sale to Canada of 16 P-8A aircraft and
related equipment at an estimated cost of $5.9 billion.
That
sparked a campaign of political lobbying by Bombardier and its partners, which
include General Dynamics Mission Systems-Canada.
Boeing,
in a news release Thursday, noted it has 81 Canadian-based suppliers contributing
already to the P-8. In addition, it has partnerships with key Canadian firms
such as CAE and Raytheon Canada, the firm said.
“The
P-8 will bolster Canada’s defense capability and readiness, and we look forward
to delivering this capability to the Royal Canadian Air Force,” Heidi Grant,
president of business development for Boeing’s defense business, said in the
news release. “Together with our Canadian partners, we will deliver a strong
industrial and technological benefit package that guarantees continued
prosperity to Canada’s aerospace and defense industry.”

FAA Wants To Increase
Recording Times On CVRs To 25 Hours

Published:November 30, 2023
The Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing to extend cockpit voice recorders
(CVRs) recording time to 25 hours for all newly manufactured aircraft that
require them, according to a press release issued
today (Nov. 30).
Existing
regulations require CVRs, commonly known as black boxes, to record a minimum of
two hours before new data begins to overwrite the previous recording. A summary
of the agency’s Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) states that increasing the
recording time would “provide accident investigators, aircraft operators, and
civil aviation authorities with substantially more cockpit voice recorder data
to help find the probable causes of incidents and accidents, prevent future
incidents and accidents, and make the FAA’s regulations more consistent with
existing international requirements.”
The
announcement comes as the agency pledged to take action on the issue during a
safety summit in March. Meanwhile, the NTSB has been calling for the change
since 2018 but pressed the importance after a spate of close calls involving
commercial aircraft this year. In six of those cases, CVR data was unavailable.
“This rule
will give us substantially more data to identify the causes of incidents and
help prevent them in the future,” said FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker.
The proposed
rule is set to be published in the Federal Register on Dec. 4 and the public
will have 60 days to comment.
