In September and November, the US Navy and the Canadian Forces became the latest operators to order replacement wings for P-3 Orion and CP-140 Aurora maritime patrol aircraft. Lockheed Martin will build thirteen new outer wing sets for the Navy's P-3 Orion fleet. The new outer wings will be delivered to the Navy beginning in early 2010. Under the Aircraft Service Life Extension Program, or ASLEP, contract, ten Canadian CP-140 Aurora aircraft will receive life extension kits consisting of new outer wings, center wing lower surface assemblies, horizontal stabilizers, wing and horizontal stabilizer leading edges, and other items as necessary. Replacement P-3 wings are also being built for Norway and US Customs and Border Protection.
