According to information published by Defseca on January 7, 2021,
the Bangladesh Navy can look into purchasing
the Japanese-made Kawasaki P-1 maritime patrol aircraft.

The Kawasaki P-1 (previously P-X, XP-1) is a Japanese maritime patrol aircraft
developed and manufactured by Kawasaki Aerospace Company.
It has the distinction of being the first operational aircraft in the world
to make use of a fly-by-optics control system.
The P-1 has entered service with the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) as
a replacement for the P-3C Orion.
On 26 March 2013, the JMSDF took delivery of the first two operational P-1 aircraft.
Export customers are also being sought for the type as part of
a general loosening of Japanese military export restrictions.
The Kawasaki P-1 is a purpose-built maritime patrol aircraft equipped with four engines.
The P-1 is powered by four podded IHI F7-10 turbofan engines underneath the low-set wings.
The P-1 is equipped with various sensors to enable the aircraft to
perform its primary purpose of detecting submarines and surface vessels;
these include the Toshiba HPS-106 active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar
which uses a total of four antennas to provide 360-degree coverage and Infrared/Light detection systems for surface detection.
