submarine-hunting aircraft
Submarine-hunting aircraft are specialized military planes designed to detect and track submarines. They are equipped with advanced sensors, sonar systems, and radar to locate underwater vessels. These aircraft play a crucial role in maritime security by monitoring vast ocean areas and providing support to naval forces.
Typically, submarine-hunting aircraft operate in conjunction with naval ships and submarines to enhance anti-submarine warfare capabilities. They can deploy various tools, such as depth charges and torpedoes, to neutralize threats. Examples of these aircraft include the P-8 Poseidon and the Lockheed P-3 Orion, both of which are widely used by several countries.
