The cutting-edge weapon system, carried by the P-8A multi-mission maritime patrol plane, will enable the Navy to undertake anti-submarine warfare at greater heights and ranges.

HAAWC, an all-weather add-on kit, allows the MK 54 torpedo to be discharged close to or below the cruising altitude of P-8A Poseidon.

According to the Naval News, the program manager, Dewayne Donley, referred to this step as a crucial turning point since it moves HAAWC one step closer to becoming fully operational and being used by the Navy.

The contract calls for producing HAAWC Air Launched Accessory, or ALA, kits and containers for the Navy and other customers. Additionally, Boeing will further offer engineering services such as design studies, testing, prototyping, and assessment of production-related problems.
