Canada Requests Boeing P-8 Bid for Surveillance Fleet

The Canadian government has announced it is expanding its Canadian Multi-Mission Aircraft Project to replace it's aging fleet of CP-140 Aurora aircraft. Public Services and Procurement Canada confirmed that it has issued a letter of request to the U.S. government about the Boeing P-8 aircraft. "With a view to exploring this option in more detail, Canada has recently submitted a Letter of Request through the United States government's Foreign Military Sales program outlining Canada's requirements and requesting an offer," PSPC noted on its website.
