Overview
- Denmark is authorized to pursue up to three P-8A Poseidon aircraft in a package that includes sensors, communications, electronic warfare support, training, spares, and long-term logistics.
- U.S. officials said the proposed sale would improve Danish maritime surveillance and anti-submarine warfare while not altering the regional military balance.
- The Defense Security Cooperation Agency listed key systems such as APY-10 radar, MX-20HD EO/IR sensors, acoustic suites, identification systems, secure radios, countermeasures, and mission software.
- Boeing is named as the principal contractor for the potential program.
- Implementation planning anticipates 11 to 14 U.S. government and contractor personnel in Denmark for up to two years to support fielding, integration, training, and logistics, with final quantity and timelines subject to negotiations and Danish budget approval.
