THE NAVY'S LATEST ANTI-SUB AIRCRAFT
(Including interior design and Tech Specs)
"At the front of the plane, the P-8A sports an exclusive radar system supplied by Raytheon. In certain detection modes, the 408-pound radar system
has a range of 200 nautical miles and provides ultra-high resolution images.
"A shorter-ranged setting offers enough precision to pick up on "small targets with limited exposure time in high sea states," according to
Raytheon's fact sheet on the product.
"The P8-A also has a refueling receptacle for missions that go beyond the 20 hours it can fly on a full tank."
