The delivery follows a contract awarded to IMP by the Royal Norwegian Air Force to refit its entire fleet of six P-3 Orion aircraft.
The P-3 Orion aircraft plays a critical role in submarine detection, search and rescue, littoral and overland surveillance, and economic zone and shipping lane protection.
Lockheed Martin has also partnered with IMP in enhancing the Royal Norwegian Air Force’s maritime patrol and reconnaissance fleet with their first mid-life upgraded P-3 Orion.
