The great and popular U.S military’s Air Anti-Submarine Warfare aircrafts
- P-3 Orion
This lon g range and land-based anti submarine warfare aircraft has great submarine detect ionability. This air craft equiped with advanced detection sensors such as Directiona l f requency and ranging (DIFAR) and Sonobuoys and Magnetic Anomaly detection (MAD). This aircraft integrated with general purpose digital computer so it can support all of tactical display and automatically provides flight simulation to the pilots.
This aircraft also has ability to carry battlegroup and also variety of weapons such as MK-50 torpedo and MK-60 mine.
The air craft specifications shown in figure below
- S-3B Viking
S-3B Viking is a t ype of jet aircraft. Jet used to detect and attack submarines. To support it’s ability s-3B viking modified from the earlier S-3A viking. And then equipped with high speed computer system to process information generated by sensor systems. S-3B viking employs an impressive array of airborne weaponry. this provide effective airborne capability to combat the threat presented by enemy. Beside that this jet aircraft can carry an inflight refueling store. So other naval strike aircraft can refueling from S-3A viking.

This P-7 made to replace P-3 Orion as the primary land-based Anti Submarine Warcraft aircraft. So in 1988 Lockheed start to develop the next generation maritime patrol aircraft. Navy also sought aircraft with newest technology to reduce support cost and enhanced anti submarine warfare capabilities. But the main functionalities is not different with P-3 Orion.
