Navy moves toward goal of more surveillance with fewer aircraft
Article Abstract:
Naval surveillance experts are moving towards a future of broader, more persistent coverage of the oceans, faster search and localization of targets, and more lethal response that are being provided by a smaller force with less manpower and lower life cycle operational and maintenance costs. The Multimission Maritime Aircraft (MMA), unmanned aircraft, the long-range, high-endurance Broad-Area Maritime Surveillance (BAMS) system are some of the Navy's new maritime patrol aircraft and unmanned planes that are used to patrol world's oceans.

The Air Force that experiments with a two-platform approach is explained in detail.
