A Maritime Multi-Mission Aircraft, ideal for Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW), is an important capability for the armed forces to possess to carry out the full range of ASW.
A Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA), in ASW configuration, is crucial for detecting and tracking submarines, using sensors and sonar to identify and neutralize potential threats.
It deals with, among other things, the defense's ability to keep Danish waters safe from submarines.
The requirements for the MPA might differ in many aspects, to the specific needs of each customer. Such a platform should be capable of conducting antisubmarine (ASW) and anti-surface (ASuW) missions as well as full ISAR (intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) missions, with also COMINT (communications intelligence) capabilities, and meet needs for endurance that exceeds that of aircraft with standard fuel tanks.
Come and hear why the aircraft is an important capability to have, and what the aircraft can do, and participate in the discussions.
Sandwiches and drinks will be served during the break in the lecture.
