Aurora

This special version of the Lockheed P.3 Orion combines the basic airframe of the Orion with the sophisticated avionics of the Lockheed S-3A Viking. It is fitted with the ASW sensor, APS-116 Radar, OR-89 FLIR and the Univac 1832A processor. Fight crew is five plus six tactical. The CP-140 Aurora is considered superior to all other Orion versions.
