The P-8I is a variant of the P-8A Poseidon that Boeing is developing for the U.S Navy. BAE Systems will begin deliveries to Boeing in 2011, a company statement said.
The Indian Government had selected the Boeing Company to provide eight P-8I long-range maritime reconnaissance and anti-submarine warfare aircraft to the Indian navy.
