The Kawasaki P-1 is Japan's four-jet maritime patrol and anti-submarine aircraft — the world's only purpose-built four-engine jet MPA — using an AESA radar and fly-by-light controls to sweep wide ocean areas for submarines.

Beats: Lockheed P-3C Orion (ABD) — selefi; dört-jet hızı (~996 km/h), AESA radar ve fly-by-light kumandayla yeni nesil halef (menzilde P-3C bir miktar önde olsa da hız+sensör füzyonunda üstün), ATR 72MP / C-295 MPA (İtalya/İspanya) — hafif turboprop devriyelere göre çok daha geniş mühimmat yükü ve gerçek okyanus-ötesi ASW menzili, Il-38N 'May' (Rusya) — modernize edilse de daha eski hücre; P-1 dört-jet hızı + AESA ile sahaya çabuk ulaşıp daha çok alanı tarar
Loses to: Boeing P-8A Poseidon (ABD) — daha olgun ağ-merkezli silah/sensör füzyonu, kanıtlanmış yüksek-irtifa ASW ve geniş ihracat/lojistik tabanı, Boeing P-8 (Hindistan/Avustralya filoları) — geniş kullanıcı havuzu sayesinde olgun destek zinciri; P-1 yedek-parça ve motor korozyonu kaynaklı hazır-bulunma sorunları yaşar
Built from scratch (unlike the airliner-derived P-8), the P-1 uses four jets for speed and survivability margin and fly-by-light controls resistant to electromagnetic interference. It trails the P-8 on operator base, logistics and combat-proven integration, and has faced engine/availability issues, but its sensors are first-rate. It hunts in open waters, not contested airspace.
