US Navy welcomes first upgraded P-8A Poseidon aircraft from L3Harris

The US Navy has taken delivery of the first overhauled P-8A Poseidon aircraft from American tech company L3Harris Technologies.

L3Harris is performing program depot maintenance along with repair and overhaul for the Naval Air Systems Command’s (NAVAIR) fleet of 139 aircraft. 

The platforms perform missions that include maritime patrol, long-range anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance. The contract was awarded last October.

“We’re keeping the Navy’s fleet mission-ready with this first P-8A delivery,” said Jason Lambert, President, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance, L3Harris. 

Work on the navy’s P-8A fleet began in 2024 at L3Harris’ aircraft modification facility in Waco and continues through September 2029. 

The company is currently overhauling seven aircraft, with all on track for delivery this year.

L3Harris anticipates up to nine aircraft inductions during the first contract year. The firm will also support foreign military sales of P-8A aircraft. 

In May this year, Canadian Commercial Corporation awarded a contract to L3Harris to provide surveillance and targeting systems to support the country’s P-8A aircraft.
