The U.S. State Department has approved a $2.3 billion arms deal with Singapore for maritime patrol aircraft and torpedoes, with Boeing as the main contractor. The deal includes four Boeing P-8A Poseidon aircraft, expected to enhance Singapore's defense capabilities by the early 2030s.

It also involves eight MK 54 lightweight torpedoes and support from U.S. representatives for training and maintenance. This purchase aims to improve national defense and interoperability with U.S. forces.
