The US Department of State has approved the
possible sale of up to four Boeing P-8A Poseidon aircraft and associated
support to New Zealand.
The Defense Security Cooperation Agency
stated that the potential Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program deal, which is
valued at an estimated US$1.46 billion, would mean New Zealand could maintain
its maritime surveillance aircraft capability following the retirement of the
Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) P-3K2 Orion.
New Zealand’s Future
Air Surveillance Capability project includes the replacement of the
Orion by mid-2025. The project has started capability requirements definition
and development of preliminary capability solution options for consideration by
the NZ Government through an indicative business case.
