The deal will enable the Hellenic Navy (HN) to restart the operation of its P-3B aircraft for land-based maritime patrol, reconnaissance, surveillance and protection of areas of national interest.

Lockheed Martin Aeronautics has been named as the prime contractor for the programme.

Powered by four Allison T56-A-14 engines, Lockheed Martin’s P-3s are integrated with infrared and long-range electro-optical cameras, in addition to particular imaging radar that can monitor activity from a considerable distance.

The P-3s can be deployed for a range of missions, including submarine hunting, over-land missions, protecting shipping lanes, deterring pirates, thwarting drug smuggling attempts and illegal immigration prevention, in addition to anti-terrorism operations.
