RE:Cdn Gov Organization to market Bbd surveillance plane In my humble opinion. This changes everything about the procurement. Ottawa, has no choice, but to take the Bomber/GD JV now, for it's new ani-sub order. If the article is right, and I have no reason to think that it's not? And if, GD has modified or refurbished the existing P-8's, with anti-sub technology? Then, the Can., Govt., should know that the JV is capable of delivering on the Military side. Therefore if the JV is strong on the military side. Then, there is no way the Poseidon's P8, old 7dirty7 fuselage, is any match for the G6500. The rest of the world that is ordering the G6500 for survailence, is the Can.,Govt's proof, to take the G6500 over the Poseidon. This Ottawa article was a great find RD2. This is probably why, Boeing bribed the Army officials to do the procurement early, and under the table, without a Public Tender.
