No obvious local work done. The El Segundo-based Raytheon Space and Airborne Systems makes the radar in Texas. Northrop Grumman does some of the electronic warfare systems, but it doesn't look like any of that is done in the South Bay.
Indian navy agrees to $2.1B deal for Boeing planes(AP) The Indian navy has agreed to buy eight reconnaissance and anti-submarine planes from Boeing Co. in a $2.1 billion deal that signals the developing nation's drive to upgrade its military hardware.
The first of the aircraft, a variant of the P-8A Poseidon under development for the U.S. Navy, will be delivered within four years, and the remaining seven will be delivered by 2015, the defense unit of Chicago-based Boeing said Tuesday.
India will become Boeing's first international customer for the plane, known as the P-8I, which also is capable of performing search-and-rescue, surveillance and targeting missions, according to the company.
