![]() C295 Anti-Submarine Warfare with a torpedo ![]() firing an anti-ship missile C-295 as MPA, ASW and AEWAC With the purchase by the Philippines of three C-295 Medium Lift Aircrafts it brings it closer to the possibility of getting the Maritime Patrol, Anti-Submarine Warfare and Aircraft Early Warning variants. C295 MPA is a versatile aircraft capable of serving a range of mission requirements. It is deployed in military transport, maritime patrol, EEZ (exclusive economic zone) surveillance, search and rescue missions (SAR), ASW, AsuW, signals intelligence (SIGINT), imagery intelligence (IMINT), law enforcement and marine pollution control missions. Avionics systems onboard the multirole maritime patrol aircraft The C295 MPA is fitted with an advanced integrated avionics system. The avionics suite consists of four liquid crystal displays and associated control units. A set of geophysical sensors provide attitude, heading and air data information. Other subsystems include an AHRS (attitude and heading reference system), an ADS (air data system), a FMS (flight management system) and an automatic flight control system. The aircraft is fitted with a fully integrated tactical system (FITS) for mission control. The system comprises a range of sensors and components including search radar, electro-optic / infrared sensors (EO/IR), electronic support measures (ESM) / an electronic intelligence system (ELINT), COMINT, a magnetic anomaly detector (MAD), an IFF interrogator, a SATCOM, a datalink and a Link-11. Other subsystems include acoustics systems, an automatic identification system (ais) and sea pollution detection systems. The FITS ASW version underwent operational evaluation (OPEVAL) and conducted anti-submarine and anti-surface missions during Nato exercises. Weapon systems of the widely used C295 maritime patrol aircraft The C295 has up to six underwing hard points for weapon systems. The hard points can hold torpedoes, anti-surface missiles, mines and depth charges. A C295 MPA anti-submarine variant has successfully conducted its first torpedo launch test in May 2010. http://www.naval-technology.com/projects/c295maritimepatrolai/ ![]() AEW&C airborne early warning and control version with 360 degree radar dome. The AESA radar was developed by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) and has an integrated IFF (Identification friend or foe) system. Variants 1.
