Buddies, I think PN has done some wrong decision in the past like not acquiring ATR 500 Series as MPA with weapons load under fuselage and under wings:
11 ATR-72 MPA
11 ATR-42 MPA
Although use them when we need it but concentrate more on UAVs operation and Satellite Watch over Arabian sea and on Indian Ocean.

The Pakistan Navy Thursday inducted two ATR-72 aircraft in its fleet as part of an ongoing programme to enhance its operational capabilities, officials said.
The turboprop aircraft, equipped with collision avoidance system and semi-glass cockpit instrumentation, were inducted during a ceremony held at PNS Mehran base in this southern port city.
The naval chief, Admiral Mohammad Asif Sandila, was the chief guest at the event.
The induction of the aircraft is being seen as a "giant leap forward in accelerating the capabilities of the Pakistan Navy" and they will provide a "low cost solution to maritime operations at sea", a spokesman said.
Sandila said the navy was involved in countering terrorism and arms and human smuggling, which have led to focused maritime security operations.
"These clear and present dangers demand a timely response and an enhancement in capabilities, in order to match the changing maritime paradigm," he said.
Other officials said the navy had inducted modified P3C Orion surveillance aircraft and Z9 anti-surface warfare helicopters and established an unmanned aerial vehicle squadron.

Okay so if PN has inducted these quite quickly, then i am assuming they have already selected a maritime package to be installed on them? Though, they might not have the long boon at the back for the MAD (Magnetic Anomaly Detector), as on the P3C orions?

Two aircrafts inducted in Pakistan Navy fleet
KARACHI (Online): Pakistan Navy has inducted two state of the art ATR-72 aircraft in its fleet to augment effectiveness and enhance its operational flexibility and reach.
An impressive induction ceremony was held at PNS MEHRAN, Thursday. Chief of the Naval Staff, Admiral Mohammad Asif Sandila was the chief guest.
ATRs are modern and widely operated turboprop platforms equipped with state of the art Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS), Auto pilot, semi glass cockpit instrumentation and high efficiency 6 bladed propellers.
Average ground speed of the aircraft is 250 knots with an endurance of about 6 hours. The induction of these aircrafts, being considered as a giant leap forward in accelerating the capabilities of PN Arm, will provide a low cost solution to Maritime Operations at sea.
Speaking on the occasion Chief of the Naval Staff said that at sea we are entrusted with the added responsibilities of countering terrorism including drugs, arms and human smuggling which has led to more focused maritime security operations.
These clear and present dangers demand a timely response and an enhancement in capabilities, in order to match the changing maritime paradigm. Air arm is being transformed to remain at par with continual changing threat. Integration of Pakistan Upgrade Programme (PUP), modified P3Cs and Z9 Anti Surface warfare helicopters in Fleet operations, addition of new warfare dimension of unmanned aerial vehicles as an established UAV Squadron and now the induction of ATR-72 are the steps towards the attachment of national objectives and international obligations.
Veteran Naval Aviators, Pakistan Navy Flag Officers and civilian and military dignitaries attended the ceremony.
