Mission:
The P-3s conduct air detection and monitoring missions in drug source and transit zones, including South and Central America, the Eastern Pacific and the Caribbean.
P-3AEWs are high-endurance, all-weather, turbo-prop aircraft with a distinctive rotating radar dome atop their backs. Each of these aircraft is outfitted with a radar enabling it to detect and monitor aircraft activity over many miles.

Did you know:
These aircraft have traditionally been, and continue to be, used by CBP to detect and monitor airborne drug smuggling over the Caribbean and the southern United States. In recent years, however, the P-3s have also been deployed with increasing frequency to support domestic air security operations, covering sensitive events and critical areas in the U.S. P-3AEW support to domestic air security missions has grown dramatically since 9/11 |
