Poseidons for germany

Post by asdro »

The german government is considering to place an order for 5x 737 Poseidon as replacement for their Orions.

The first idea was to order an european Poseidon, based on A320 neo, which would be availible in 2032.
This A320 neo will be called MAWS Maritime Airborne Warfare System.

The order for the 5x 737 Poseidons will cost 1.48 billion $.

The german government wants to increase the budget for the Poseidon program.
It is planned to add seven more Poseidons. That would mean a fleet of 12x 737-P-8A.
