Airbus Military has announced that the US Coast Guard has ordered three additional CN235 Maritime Patrol Aircraft.
Designated as the HC-144A Ocean Sentry in the US, the CN235s are modified to carry search radar, electro-optical and infrared cameras, an Automatic Identification System for data collection from vessels at sea, and a communications suite. The Coast Guard currently operates 10 HC-144s, with the aircraft achieving initial operating capability last year.
