12 fiscal years of this program as published (FY2015–FY2026): a line through the actuals (filled dots), with the enacted (hollow circles) and request (diamonds) markers each edition reported. Read it for direction, not for precision — this program's actuals line falls across the span. The grid below is the same data as text, one cited figure per cell.

The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.

● actuals (line) · ○ enacted · ◇ request — gaps are editions the program is absent from, never interpolated.

blank = series not published for this year; – = absent from that edition.

Asked vs spent: the PB2023 book requested $37.9M for FY2023; the PB2025 book reported $43.9M as actual total obligation authority — $5.97M above the request. 43.9 − 37.9 = 6.0 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description

Mission — Multi-Mission Maritime Aircraft (MMA) (P-8A)

The P-8A Multi-mission Maritime Aircraft (MMA) program was initiated in response to the Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) validated Mission Needs Statement, "Broad Area Maritime and Littoral Armed Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance" and the requirements for the program are defined in the P-8A Capability Production Document #791-88-09, validated and approved on 22 June 2009. A successful Critical Design Review was completed in June 2007. In August 2007 the Design Readiness Review was conducted and resulted in approval to obligate funding for the fabrication of the Stage II flight test aircraft. The first flight of P-8A occurred on 25 Apr 2009. Milestone C was successfully completed on 11 August 2010. The program completed Initial Operational Test and Evaluation (IOT&E) in March 2013 and achieved Initial Operational Capability (IOC) in November 2013. The Acquisition Decision Memorandum approved entry into Full Rate Production on January 3, 2014. During the initial Systems Development and Demonstration (SDD) phase (PE 0605500N PU 2696), which completed in 2020, the program performed the system detailed design, developed and produced Systems Integration Labs, developed and built ground and flight test articles, and conducted ground and flight tests to successfully achieve program milestones. Ground testing included the conduct of static testing, fatigue testing and Live Fire Test and Evaluation. Additionally, six (6) flight test aircraft were built, and grouped into two stages based on which phase of the test program the aircraft supported. SDD Stage I flight test aircraft (FY06/Qty-3) supported Integrated Test and Evaluation (IT&E). SDD Stage II flight test aircraft (FY09/Qty-3) supported the completion of IT&E and IOT&E after being updated to the production configuration. The SDD contract also included the development and initial building of training devices to support IOT&E, all activities necessary to facilitate an efficient transition of the fleet to achieve the P-8A IOC in CY13, and the engineering and verification of corrected deficiencies identified in testing and Fleet operational use. P-8A entered Production and Deployment phase in the 4th quarter of FY10 and entered Full Rate Production in 2nd quarter of FY14. P-8A MMA program follow-on SDD activities (PU 3368) include Assured Maritime Dominance Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW), Anti-Surface Warfare (ASuW), and Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) activities implemented as a sequence of Rapid Capability Insertions (RCI) and rapid development efforts to respond to evolving threats and adversary capabilities, which will retain cost effectiveness for winning major combat operations. In order to pace the threat, these efforts will incorporate incremental software and/or hardware improvements that increase/exceed the current performance envelope, to include reliability/maintainability improvements, obsolescence, periodic technology insertion, urgent operational needs, correction of deficiencies and flight safety issues to existing sensor capabilities, communications systems, mission systems, airframe and engine component systems, weapons capabilities, training systems and Tactical Operations Center (TOC) /Tacmobile support to build on the initial P-8A SDD (PU 2696) capability baseline. These planned and emergent requirements will be prioritized through either the Navy Integration and interoperability (I&I) aligned Capability Prioritization Process (CPP), P-8A Tier 3 Capability Roadmap and/or through Fleet identification of an Urgent Operational Need. The CPP process is supported by detailed analysis and the maturations of developing technologies. Budget Activity 5. JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is funded under SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT AND DEMONSTRATION because it includes those projects that have passed Milestone B approval and are conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirement prior to full-rate production decision.

Mission — P-8 Improvements

The P-8A MMA program's Assured Maritime Dominance Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW), Anti-Surface Warfare (ASuW), and Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) activities include a sequence of Rapid Capability Insertions (RCI) and rapid development efforts to respond to evolving threats and adversary capabilities, which will retain cost effectiveness for winning major combat operations. In order to pace the threat, these efforts will incorporate incremental software and/or hardware improvements that increase/exceed the current performance envelope, to include reliability/maintainability improvements, obsolescence, periodic technology insertion, urgent operational needs, correction of deficiencies and flight safety issues to existing sensor capabilities, communications systems, mission systems, airframe and engine component systems, weapons capabilities, training systems and Tactical Operations Center (TOC) /Tacmobile support to build on the P-8A capability baseline. These planned and emergent requirements will be prioritized through either the Navy Integration and interoperability (I&I) aligned Capability Prioritization Process (CPP), P-8A Capability Roadmap and/or through Fleet identification of an Urgent Operational Need. The CPP process is supported by detailed analysis and the maturations of developing technologies. Assured Maritime Dominance activities include principal mission lethality, survivability against kinetic and non-kinetic threats, and capability persistence in high-level threat environments. Rapid Development efforts increase lethality through optimization of kill-chain software systems, employment of LRASM, and other weapon systems and Airborne Weapon Simulator capabilities. RCI4 capabilities include kill-chain/gap analysis, ASW Enhancements, common weapons synchronization, and Airborne Weapon Simulator continuation. RCI5 capabilities increase P-8A survivability through Radio Frequency Counter Measure (RFCM) Self Protection Pod/Advanced Survivability Pod (ASP) Certification, P-8A Survivability Assurance and distributed sensor network improvements.

Award linkage is shown for 32 of 200 profiled companies — high- and medium-confidence USAspending matches, each row labeled; medium is the weaker evidence. why partial award coverage? →

Rows marked medium rest on evidence weaker than a program-level match, and of more than one kind. An account-based row, where the award drew from the same appropriation account as this program, is an association, not evidence that this program paid for the contract. Where the evidence is instead an FPDS acquisition-program tag or a subaward description, the program is established but which of its budget lines paid is not. An announcement link a recorded review did not leave standing is medium too. Only high rows rest on the contract naming this program with a recorded review upholding it and no recorded rejection or refutation applying.

Contractor concentration

No concentration index is published for this line. This line's high-confidence links do not clear the floor for a published concentration index — at least 3 awards across 2 contractor families holding positive obligations, with positive net linked dollars. An index below that floor is a fact about the sample, not about the market. Whatever further links this line carries are medium-confidence, and what each medium evidence path does and does not establish is set out in the methodology. Both bases are in the downloadable warehouse.
