EADS CASA C-295 Persuader

Maritime Patrol and Homeland Security Versions

Based on the C-295, CN-235, C-212 platforms and the Fully Integrated Tactical System (FITS), the Military Transport Aircraft Division solutions cover a wide variety of Maritime Patrol and Homeland Security missions: law enforcement, maritime pollution and the Economic Exclusive Zone (EZZ) control, search and rescue, anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare (ASW/ASuW).

The EADS CASA platforms are perfectly adapted to the maritime patrol missions, with high manoeuvrability at low altitude and outstanding mission performance, as they were designed on the basis of frequent low level flights, for maritime surveillance and tactical operations.

The EADS CASA maritime surveillance aircraft provides the mission crew with the cabin comfort required for long endurance missions: rest area, mission consoles area, observation area with two bubble windows and a rear ramp that can be opened in flight for the delivery of emergency equipment. The aircraft in its maritime patrol configuration also has sufficient space available to transport personnel or cargo.

The C-212 Patrulllero and the CN-235/C-295 Persuader offer an outstanding mullti-mission capability, thanks to the use of the rear ramp. Cabin equipment can be easily unloaded allowing the transport of additional seats, palletised or bulk cargo. If required by customer missions, the aircraft can be equipped with an easy-to-install palletized mission system that allows most of the cargo cabin to be used for transport.

The Military Transport Aircraft maritime surveillance solutions incorporate state-of-the-art mission sensors integrated with the FITS tactical system: surveillance radar with automatic tracking and imaging modes, state-of-the-art IR/EO turret, and specific communications for the exchange of mission data and images. Other integrated sensors, depending on customer's mission requirements, are: AIS, IFF interrogator, Datalink, ESM/ELINT, acoustics, MAD, etc.

The FITS integrates mission sensors, aircraft navigation and communication, and increases mission effectiveness by providing an intuitive human-machine interface that presents tactical/navigation information to the mission operators in real time.
