Jeff Kohler, vice president of Boeing Military Aircraft, said his company is thinking of integrating the P-8A’s mission system into a smaller platform.

“We are looking hard at either a mid-sized platform or scaling down the P-8, and hopefully we will make a decision [whether to proceed] later this year.”
