Depends on the requirement.

Could u elaborate further?...I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to naval systems.

Presence of AESA and EO/IR system suggest it will be used to scan large areas. Still, P3C remains a vital asset for PN.



They requested those, but other customers didnt.

Its datalink options are indeed impressive..

Are our RAS-72 in the same configuration???

It takes years of specialized training to acquire that knowledge.

Yes it's a lot of technical stuff to take in...however in this case I just have one question...if it can possibly be answered...
Plz refer to post 999 and post 1004.

ATR-72 MPA are fitted with AESA. Can they function as AWACS???

The PN’s ATR-72 MPA is also known as the RAS-72 Sea Eagle. The RAS-72 Sea Eagle is configured with the Leonardo Seaspray 7300E active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar, FLIR Systems’ Star SAFIRE III electro-optical and infrared (EO/IR) turret, and Elettronica’s electronic support measures (ESM) suite.



Leonardo’s multi-mode AESA surveillance radars are a worldwide success, having been sold to 30 countries. The Seaspray 7500E has seen service with the US Coast Guard, while the Seaspray 7000E equips the UK Armed Forces’ AW159 Wildcat helicopters, the Seaspray 7300E equips the Italian Air Force’s ATR-72s and the Seaspray 5000E was recently selected for the Bangladeshi Navy to conduct anti-smuggling and anti-pollution missions.

Well the radar supposedly has a range of ~600km I believe that is look down /surface scan. In that way it could theoretically be used as a naval awac for surface to surface guidance and targeting, but I'm not sure of anti-air operations.

Thanks.
An off-topic question. Do you have any know how on how electricity is produced in fighter jets???

First I have seen a machine gunner on a SA-316. Clearly not on a standard SAR configuration.
What are the antennas on the front of the cockpit for?

Thanks.

Not who you asked but generally, on aircrafts, electrical power is produced by a constant speed drive gearbox coupled to an electrical generator which uses the torque from jet turbine.

yes. But what if we want to increase power output???
