The P-8 is to replace the P-3 Orion. At first, it will be equipped with legacy P-3 systems, but later upgrades will incorporate more advanced technology. The Government Accountability Office credited the incremental approach with keeping the project on schedule and on budget. The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) deleted the requirement for the P-8A to be equipped with magnetic anomaly detection (MAD) equipment as part of an effort to reduce weight by 3, 500 lb (1, 600 kg) for improved endurance and range. A hydrocarbon sensor detects fuel vapors from diesel-powered submarines and ships. The UK RAF are scheduled to take delivery of 9 of these aircraft .
