I suppose that will allow the P-8A to use MAD while staying
at high altitude. But is the small, disposable MAD gear a
Scan Eagle would carry as good as the tail stinger on a larger
aircraft?


Probably. The external magnetic influences would certainly be much smaller.
In addition, using 21st century technology, instead of '70s or '80s, would
likely make a smaller, more efficient package.
