WASHINGTON, June 27, 2023 - The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of Canada of P-8A Aircraft and related equipment for an estimated cost of $5.9 billion. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this possible sale today.
The Government of Canada has requested to buy up to sixteen (16) P-8A Patrol Aircraft; up to twenty-six (26) Multifunctional Information Distribution System Joint Tactical Radio System 5 (MIDS JTRS 5); up to thirty-eight (38) Embedded Global Positioning Systems (GPS)/Inertial Navigation Systems (EGIs) for the LN-251; up to twenty-five (25) System Processor Replacements for AN/AAQ-24(V)N Large Aircraft Infrared Countermeasures (LAIRCM) System Processor Replacement (LSPR) with Exelis Embedded GPS Receiver (EGR) integrated with SAASM; and up to twenty-two (22) Guardian Laser Transmitter Assemblies (GLTA) for the AN/AAQ-24(V)N.

The estimated total cost is $5.9 billion.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security objectives of the United States by helping to improve the military capability of Canada, a NATO ally that is an important force for ensuring political stability and economic progress, and a contributor to military, peacekeeping, and humanitarian operations around the world.
This proposed sale will increase Canadian maritime forces’ interoperability with the United States and other allied forces, as well as their ability to contribute to missions of mutual interest. This will significantly improve network-centric warfare capability for the U.S. forces operating globally alongside Canada. Canada will have no difficulty absorbing this equipment into its armed forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region.
The prime contractor will be The Boeing Company, Seattle, WA. There are a significant number of other companies under contract with the U.S. Navy that will provide components, systems, and engineering services during the execution of this effort. While the purchaser typically requests offsets, any offset agreement will be defined in future negotiations between the purchaser and the contractor(s).
Implementation of this proposed sale will require multiple trips by U.S. Government representatives and the assignment of contractor representatives to Canada on an intermittent basis over the life of the case to support delivery and integration of items and to provide supply support management, inventory control and equipment familiarization.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.
This notice of a potential sale is required by law. The description and dollar value are for the highest estimated quantity and dollar value based on initial requirements. Actual dollar value will be lower depending on final requirements, budget authority, and signed sales agreement(s), if and when concluded.
All questions regarding this proposed Foreign Military Sale should be directed to the State Department's Bureau of Political Military Affairs, Office of Congressional and Public Affairs, pm-cpa@state.gov.

첫댓글 자국 회사 Bombardier가 국산 해상초계기 개발해 줄 테니 그것을 쓰라고 열심히 주장하더만... 역시나 예비 부품을 수천대의 보잉 737에서 가져다 쓸 수 있는 P-8 사업의 economy of scale을 당할 수가 없죠.
캐나다 정도 역량이면 자국산 초계기 개발할 법도 한데 여기도 포세이돈을 쓰네요. 싸구려 해상초계기 말고는 신형 초계기들이 비빌 구석이 없어지는 것 같은데 여긴 드론에 잠식당하고 있고요.
@위종민 1958-1982년에는 영국 Bristol Britannia 여객기를 개조한 CL-28 Argus라는 국산 해상초계기를 쓴 바 있습니다.

봄바르디에제 비즈젯 기반 MPA는 ELI-3360이 있는데, 솔직히 말해 저기 소드피쉬랑 경쟁할 물건에 가깝지, P-8이랑 비빌만한 물건은 아니죠. 더군다나 온난화로 근미래에 생길 캐나다 해군 북극해 "internal waters" 초계 요구사항을 생각해보면 더더욱.
