MPA/R no more
Article Abstract:
The German-Italian Maritime Patrol Aircraft Replacement programme (MPA/R) was formally terminated on 30 June 2003 and the bidders were informed that the evaluation of their respective proposals was closed. The joint effort of the programme, which was intended to define a complete airframe and mission system, was losing its impulse and hence it was finally terminated.
