US Naval Air Systems Command, PATUXENT RIVER: A team of engineers from Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Naval Air Warfare Center China Lake and The Boeing Company are currently working together on the P-8A Multimission Maritime Aircraft program to execute the approved Live-Fire Test and Evaluation (LFT&E) Strategy.
This strategy is focused on vulnerability reduction and survivability enhancement while fulfilling congressionally-mandated LFT&E requirements.
LFT&E testing began in April and will conclude through 2012, prior to the P-8A entering full-rate production.
Though early in its System Development and Demonstration (SDD) phase, the P-8A program continues to set the standard for acquisition programs, and this phase focuses on one of the most critical areas – survivability.
