C295 MPA/ASW
The new submarine hunter
The C295 MPA is equipped with the FITS (Fully Integrated Tactical System) as the missions system core and an advanced set of sensors and armament system for conducting ASW and ASuW missions.
The most modern and cost-effective ASW and ASuW aircraft
Proven during operational missions as a Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA) and deployed in Anti-Submarine Warfare/Anti-Surface Warfare (ASW/ASuW) duties, the C295 represents a modern, risk-free, and much more efficient alternative to older generation veterans such as the P-3 Orion or the Bréguet Atlantic, while its operating and maintenance costs are significantly lower.
The C295 Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) version is equipped with Airbus’ in-house-developed Fully Integrated Tactical System (FITS) tactical system, and is fitted with underwing stations to carry weapons and other stores. In addition to launching sonobuoys, the C295 can deploy torpedoes, anti-surface missiles and depth charges. Chile and Spain have acquired the C295 for service in ASW missions.
