p-3 isn't updated to the latest tech they are old even if their loiter times is higher doesn't makes em more effective.ATR 6 hour endurance as compare to 16-24 hour endurance of P-3 is a joke. What are the thinking to use it as a VIP transport, what a waste of money
These atr will be used for transport purposes as others are in germany.Incorrect, 2014-2015, Pakistan contracted a German firm – Rheinland Air Service (RAS) – to convert two Pakistan Navy ATR-72s into maritime patrol aircraft.
It is possible that this third ATR-72 will eventually be sent for conversion, especially since the platform is considered a key part of the Navy’s Aviation Vision 2030 plan
Pakistan Navy has inducted its 3rd state of the art ATR aircraft and Scan Eagle Unmanned Aerial System in its fleet to augment effectiveness and enhance its operational flexibility and reach. An impressive induction ceremony was held at PNS MEHRAN, today. Chief of the Naval Staff, Admiral Muhammad Zakaullah was the Chief Guest on the occasion.
ATRs aircraft are modern and widely operated turboprop platforms equipped with state of the art Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS), Auto pilot and high efficiency 6 bladed propellers. The average ground speed of the aircraft is 250 knots with an endurance of about 6 hours. Addition of the ATR Aircraft in Aviation Fleet is a giant leap forward in accelerating the capabilities of PN Air Arm which will provide a low cost solution to Maritime Operations at sea.
Speaking on the occasion, Chief of the Naval Staff said that Pakistan Navy Air Arm has come a long way since its inception in early seventies. Induction of ATR Aircraft is a part of PN Aviation Vision 2030. He further added that complex and fluid maritime environment in our region requires Pakistan Navy to shoulder more challenging tasks related to Maritime Security besides, maintaining combat readiness against the traditional threats. In this regard, Aviation is undoubtedly an indispensible component of the Fleet for all envisaged tasks.
The Naval Chief said that induction of Scan Eagle UAV System in Pakistan Navy is yet another major transformation in terms of acquisition of new capabilities. It will definitely start a new era in PN’s operational capability by providing ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance) and variety of other tasks particularly. These UAVs can monitor entire coastline including creeks area round the clock.
The ceremony was attended by Pakistan Navy Flag Officers, civilians and military dignitaries.

ATR converted in RAS will be much more advance but still lot less capable then the newer P8 which india purchased.
These atr will be used for transport purposes as others are in germany.
SCAN EAGLES ARE GOOD FOR MARITIME PETROL
