The Denmark based tech group Terma and Boeing have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore opportunities for Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) support for the P-8 maritime patrol aircraft in Denmark. The agreement was announced during the DALO Industry Days, highlighting plans to expand collaboration in sustainment services should Denmark proceed with a P-8 acquisition.
The MoU aims to establish a local support structure for the P-8, contributing to Denmark’s ability to manage and sustain critical military assets. Thomas Flarup, Chief Commercial Officer at Terma, said:
“This agreement marks an important step in our ambition to strengthen Denmark’s position in critical sustainment capabilities. We believe that robust MRO infrastructure is essential to ensuring operational availability of key assets such as the P-8. If the Danish Defense decides on acquiring the P-8 as a new military platform, we – as the industry – stand ready to support. By formalizing our intent to collaborate with Boeing, we are not only deepening an already strong relationship, we are also aligning our industrial capabilities to strengthen national resilience.”
Terma has been a supplier to Boeing’s P-8 program for more than a decade. The new MoU extends this cooperation and reflects both companies’ intention to provide local expertise and sustainment capacity for Denmark’s defense sector.
Maria Laine, president of Boeing United Kingdom, Ireland, and the Nordics, noted:
“Terma is an enduring supplier to Boeing’s P-8 program and we have collaborated together for over a decade to advance Denmark’s aerospace ecosystem on projects such as the Harpoon Missile Simulator, a realistic training environment for the operation of advanced missile systems. In the face of global challenges, this MoU fortifies our shared vision for a stronger, more capable defense industrial base, and we are proud to stand beside Denmark’s largest defense company to deliver enhanced sovereign fleet support if Denmark selects the P-8 for its maritime patrol aircraft requirement.”
