As was reported , the Italian customs and excise authority has placed an order for
two ATR Surveyors. Meanwhile the Harbor Master's office, which cornes under
the Italian defense ministry, will also be operating one of these aircraft. These
machines will be required to perform SAR and eus toms surveillance
in areas
known to be used for clandestine immigration andillegal traffic in the Adriatic Sea
and regions close to Sardinia and Corsica.
The surveyor which is capable of patrolling non-stop for eight hours aver an area
360 km from base (or 3h30min at distance of 1000km) will replace the current
Piaggio 166s. The surveyor version thanks to its open ended architecture
can
readily adapt to specifie requirements,
particularly where sensors are concerned.
These aircraft include a full 360-deg ESM electronic eavesdropping system, a radar
capable of operating in the ISAR imaging mode and a mobile belly-mounted
optronic turret comprising infrared and TV sensors.
Additional to these is a comprehensive
VHF/UHF-HF transmission package and,
on either side of the airframe, a gun-pod armed with a 12,7mm machine gun. Aiso
provided is a nacelle housing a powerful searchlight and an electronic cartridge
dispenser. Two control stations inside the cabin provide overall management of the
sensors.
However
the Surveyor
is essentially
a mutlirole
beast,
hence
reconfigurable.
The rack-mounted workstations can easily be dismantled to convert
the aircraft for transporting passengers, paratroops (a side door in the cabin can be
used for jumping out releasing an SAR line), eight stretchers, or freight
Eavesdropping
