The reason for this is that the total costs and the technical difficulties that arose during the modernization are too important.

The delays in the modernization of the P-3C Orion are already leading to insufficient material operational readiness without any foreseeable improvement. The situation is aggravated by the fact that the P-3C Orion with tactical marker “60+01” was heavily damaged during a refuelling operation at the end of March 2020.

For this reason, the Bundeswehr is currently conducting a market survey which takes into account all platforms available on the market.
