In the new naval warfare scenario, the ATR 72 ASW represents the most affordable solution to fulfill the Anti-Submarine Warfare role. The ATR 72 ASW integrates a tactical, patrol and surveillance mission system with sensors like a search radar, an acoustic system with sonobuoy launcher, an electro-optic system, a Magnetic Anomaly Detector (MAD), a self protection system including Electronic Support Measures (ESM), Missile Warning System (MWS), chaff and flare dispensers and an armament system with four underfuselage pylons for depth charges, torpedoes and antiship missiles.
It will provide Customers with complete mission capability and versatility to search for, detect, identify, track, and on command, attack both submarines and surface targets. The ATR 72 ASW has recently been selected by the Turkish Government to supply ten aircraft to the Turkish Navy
