India’s Ministry of Defense approved the purchase of Boeing‘s P-8I Training Solution along with a 10-year comprehensive maintenance service for $317 million. This training solution accurately simulates P-8I aircraft and mission systems, and will help the Indian Navy train and realistically rehearse for sophisticated missions involving P-8I aircraft.
This aircraft is equipped for long range anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance in support of broad area, maritime and littoral operations. Its communication and sensor suite include equipment developed by state-owned defense and private manufacturers.
