Market Outlook
Market Outlook
Government FY2009 production peak was realized primarily
in Sparton’s FY2011
Limited risk of a negative impact of sonobuoy sales to the
U.S. Navy if sequestration occurs
Foreign sales are still somewhat unpredictable although a
sharp increase was seen in the 2
nd
quarter of FY2010 & 1
st
nine months of FY2012
The Boeing P-8 Poseidon aircraft to become the new
launch vehicle for sonobuoys
Reduced U.S. Navy sonobuoy production volume in Sparton’s
FY2012 will be partially offset by the pursuit of new
developmental engineering funds from the DoD for Antisubmarine
Warfare related applications ($37 million over 5 years of
engineering funds already announced)
Anti-Submarine Warfare budget line item is less than $250
million
Budget is a small fraction of the cost of a single ship
Continued military actions taken by North Korea and China
should have an impact in the use of sonobuoys in that region
The leak of government sensitive information may also put
foreign nations on guard and require more monitoring of their
territorial waterways
U.S. Navy plans to buy 117 P-8A anti-submarine warfare, anti-
surface warfare, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance
aircraft to replace its existing P-3 fleet. Initial operational
capability is scheduled for 2013.
The Indian navy signed a contract for eight P-8I aircraft in
January 2009. Boeing will deliver the first P-8I within 48 months
of contract signing and the remaining seven by 2015.
