About this program
The P-3C ORION Land-Based Anti-Submarine Warfare Patrol Aircraft (Update IV Avionics) program is a Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) focused on maintaining and upgrading the P-3C maritime patrol aircraft platform. Operating under the Major Capability Acquisition pathway, this program supports the continued operation and modernization of the P-3C Orion, which serves as a key asset for anti-submarine warfare, maritime surveillance, and patrol operations. The program encompasses both hardware and system upgrades to maintain the aircraft's operational effectiveness.
Contract awards under this program range from small purchase orders for individual components (typically $5,000-$100,000) to major delivery orders exceeding $7 million, with performance periods typically spanning 6-24 months. Notable contractors include Mountain Secure Systems (providing Direct Access Storage Devices), Moog Inc. (valve systems), and various OEMs supplying specialized aviation components. The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) and Naval Air Warfare Center serve as the primary contracting authorities, with additional contract administration through the Defense Contract Management Agency. The work supports both domestic P-3C operations and Foreign Military Sales, including the Taiwan Air Force. None of the contracts utilize small business set-asides, reflecting the specialized nature of the aviation components and systems. Major deliverables include avionics components, electronic systems, mechanical assemblies, and engineering services, with significant awards for outer wing installation work and mission systems support.
